Re: out of order messages from blu.org?

["Jerry Feldman-2" <user=4@nabble.blu.org>]

 Both John and I have full time jobs. We don't have a 24X7 TOC. 
We generally, don't do that many detailed checks.  John has just 
installed a new server he is testing, and we should be cutting over to 
that in a while. But, this server is both our mail server as well as 
the DNS server. I am expecting a new server to be donated to us by my 
company when they arrive. But, there is really no mechanism in any MTA 
that I know of that tries to maintain some ordering of the mail queue.
