I was out having a coffee and buying bagels, so I can't be sure when 
your message arrived, but it's now 2:20 EDT and your message had 
arrived here. So, at most, there was roughly a 3 hour delay. And I 
suspect that the actual delay was even less than that. Certainly not days.

Any time that there are serious delays, one would expect they were the 
result of general internet issues, or of local ISP issues (either 
sending or receiving the mail).

I see you're sending from a US government address. Perhaps there is a 
limit imposed on "external" mail by your own mail servers? I suggest 
this because I was in IT in the Canadian government and I know we had 
limits imposed on our mail servers for traffic that didn't originate 
from, or was addressed to, external addresses. If internal mail was 
light, external mail would go out right away; but if it was a heavy 
load, the internal stuff got dealt with first.
