I can not tell you where the problem is or if there is even a problem with either end but you need to understand how email works.
Email is just about the lowest priority of anything traveling on the Internet. Email, unlike interactive sites was not designed to be instantaneous. The are several algorithms for delivery of email. Some store up a number of messages before attempting to deliver them to a given server. Let's say the number is 10 and 10. When the number of queued messages reaches 10 then the sending server attempts to reach the receiving server. That is the first 10. If any number of messages less than 10 have sat in queue for more than 10 minutes (the second number) then the sending server will attempt to contact the receiving server.
If for any reason (internet path down or receiving server not responding for example), the sending server will keep the message and retry later This is usually double the time or it this example case 20 minutes. The retry iteration will go on as long as the sending server wishes and most are set to keep trying doubling the time on each for up to about two days. At that point if the email was never delivered a message of "unable to contact" the recipitant is send back to the originator and the originator can automatically refuse to send any following messages to that id.
All of the above items are configurable so there are no fixed rules. as an example some sending servers send the smallest messages first.
I can not begin to guess where this "problem" is. It could have been triggered by something that is now fixed and the clean up may happen automatically. Or the clean up may need system admin intervention. Just hang in there and it will eventually get back to what emailers consider normal. It could be in either email server or either end application. In a normal GMCnet world I have noticed that emails take about 7 minutes to get forwarded to the forum. I have never timed it the other way since I never look at GMCnet emails.
Hang it there it will all get fixed eventually.

I see Norm's thread in the forum. Interesting that the timestamp on it
matches what's here in the mailing list. I guess the email-to-forum
parser uses the time the messages was sent instead of the time that it
was processed by the forum - guess that's a good thing, since it keeps
everything in the right order, more or less. Still, it'd be
interesting to see the raw headers of the message that arrived at the
forum to see where it spent all of its time along the way.
