Delayed income emails?

[Idontknow]

About half of the emails received through the bluehost email addresses at our company have been delayed by hours. I just received emails sent at 12pm this afternoon tonight at 9? Is any one else having issues with this? It is also happening on emails from bluehost to bluehost. We are using Postini as well? Thanks for your help.

Here's a quote from the folks at Postini (actually Google)


"Postini is suffering some fairly major outage at the moment, causing mail backups and delays. It's not totally down, but delivery is sporadic at best."

Google has acknowledge the problem, but it prefers not to call it an outage and it indicates the problem is limited to the US. "We're aware of an issue that's causing a delay in mail delivery for some Postini customers in the US, and are working to fix it as quickly as possible," reads a statement from the company. "We know how important mail is to our users, so we take issues like this very seriously, and apologize for the inconvenience."
