As I mentioned prevously, my the email for my family’s domain (teamjens.com) is hosted on Google Apps. Today, I’ve seen some e-mail trickling in quite late. As I examined the headers, it looks like there are problems with delivery through the Gmail backend.

Here is the section of the headers that show the e-mail getting delayed 2 hours and 10 minutes(read from bottom to top):
Received: by 10.65.231.14 with SMTP id i14cs557103qbr;

From the header, it shows that this email took ~2 hours and 10 minutes (from 13:04:18 PDT until 15:14:19 PDT) to be delivered from 10.115.58.1 to 10.65.231.14 (which are both hosts in google’s network.)

I’m not paying for this service, but if I were, I’d be complaining to Google about it.
