I love Gmail. I've been using it for over 6 years and wouldn't trade my account for any other webmail service.However, lately I've been having a major problem with delivery delays when sending to a person that has an Earthlink account.Sending the email is fine but the mail does not arrive in the recipient's mailbox for many hours, and sometimes days. Oftentimes, I receive an email back from the mail daemon that says:Mail Delivery Subsystem to meshow details 2:17 PM (5 minutes ago)This is an automatically generated Delivery Status NotificationTHIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.Delivery to the following recipient has been delayed:user@sfproperties.comMessage will be retried for 2 more day(s)Technical details of temporary failure:The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect.

(10): Connection timed out]I'm not sure why this is happening, especially since I've been emailing this person for years without any delays but now it happens almost every time I email her.Any help would be very much appreciated. I can share headers if that would assist in finding a solution.Many thanks!
