You know, that's the crux of it.  When something goes wrong, I can't do 
anything about it.  And the people who answer the phones know next to 
nothing about bigger issues.  It's frustrating.  But I don't think I'll 
seek a job with them, not that frustrating. :)

In this case though, I fear I jumped too quickly to the conclusion that 
@Home was to blame.  After I sent the message, I did a test and email was 
arriving from work, at least, without any delay at all.  So I guess the 
delay was probably due to Red Hat's list server as Greg Wright suggested.
