TSGL: List mail timing problems?

[Tilman Brandl]

Hi,

I'm having this and similar cases with tsgserver emails repeatedly: 

1. on day 1 I receive a query from our list, 
2. one day later or so (day 2) I assemble kind of an answer and send it off
3. that very day 2 several other people reply
4. that very day 2 the original poster writes: Thanks, problem solved.
5. on day 3 my own answer pops up on the list, now pretty redundant.

Another version is: I'll receive several list-answers to a query I haven't seen at all, the original posting itself comes in last, maybe even a day or so later.

My latest example is RATs inquiry about 'Computer won't shut down'. The original question came in today (22 Oct) while it was sent 4 days earlier - see the copied header A. below. Where has it been during that interval?

RAT's 'Thank you' message came in one day earlier - already on 21st of October, and seems to have been sent off on 20th Oct !? Here's the header B. for this one too.

Am I reading the headers correctly?
Can anybody out there see from the headers where the delay for the original inquiry did happen?
Any other ideas? I hesitate to contact my provider as long as I don't have a clue as to what exactly happens.

Please try to answer to this before you get to see it ;-/>
