Delayed email forwarding

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I wonder if anyone can help.

I registered a domain with 123-reg a couple of months ago and went for a simple email forwarding service. I have noticed that some - not all - of the emails people send me take a long time to arrive and the problem seems to be between the OPs isp and 123-reg. It came to a head this evening when two emails sent on Sunday afternoon from a friend's freeserve account finally arrived over 48 hours later. As they were work related it was quite serious. Looking at the headers the messages were lost for all that time between freeserve/wanadoo and 123.

So, the question. Is the problem likely to be down to 123, and therefore should I seek to move my domain to another host, or is it more likely to be other people's isps and therefore out of my control?

Thanks for any advice.
 
if the problem is anywhere its prolly freeserves end (or should l say wanadoo/orange) the other possibility is the server your using to forward however that is less likely from what you have said, sadly from my experiance l cant say this is a fixable problem unless the ISP in question fixes their DNS
 
I would have to see the headers to tell you for sure, if you wanted pm them to me and i will take a look

Unfortunately it can be difficult to sort these problems out. I had a similar problem a few months back receiving emails from hotmail, the reason was that the ip range of my email server had been mistakenly blacklisted by hotmail and so emails were delayed by 48 hours.

All you can do is talk to 123-reg, tell them about the problem, and then they will hopefully already know about it. Even so it still takes a few days at least for servers or ip ranges to be removed from the blacklist.
