Receiving Email From Comcast Cubscribers

I regularly correspond with a Comcast subscriber.
My ISP uses Brightmail to filter spam and it does an OK job.

Now here's the rub.
Emails sent from this Comcast address are regularly tied up for two hours or longer before I receive them.
After reading quibbly's post »Spam is great for job security it's starting to make sense.
I should also note her father experiences the same problem using Hotmail.

I have been blaming Comcast's server for the problem, but now am I starting to think that because of the originating server her emails are being spooled for spam inspection before they are released.

Am I way off base here or do I at least have a clue?
(No all your base jokes PLEASE!:) )

nope, you're not too far off. Comcast isn't likely to be checking your friend's outgoing email.

Comcast's server is overloaded checking ALL the inbound mail for spam and viruses, and doesn't have time to send that email to your ISP.
