	See my previous message on this thread.  Without knowing more 
about how their network is run and what their current message 
delivery statistics are, all I'm seeing are a few complaints from a 
few people that they're seeing deliveries sometimes take 15-20 
minutes.

	This could very easily fit within an extremely reasonable 
delivery standard of 95% of all e-mail being delivered within five 
minutes, and 99% of all e-mail being delivered within one hour.


        I'm still not seeing a problem here.
