long delay on delivery

[sts]

Hmm... My message took 3 days to arrive - was any of the delay due to spamgourmet? Maybe it was the sender's end... Here are some headers (with my actual email address hidden):

I was received by spamgourmet on the 16th and spend two days within the host10.apollohosting.com system. Since I have been getting mail in between, I don't think sg was down. However, it might be very busy and refusing connections. I'll take a look.
