Thank you evie for explaining the packet thing to me.

I knew that mass mailings are often done in packets of some sort, I just never knew how (and it totally makes sense that the packets would be sorted by email provider).... and that also probably explains why I haven't gotten an email yet.

The email I used for registration at OBT is an uncommon email provider, so it's possible that the packets are being done in order of largest email providers first (AOL, yahoo, hotmail etc...) and the little ones that only a few people use would be done last.

Again, thank you for explaining the way servers sort and send the email packets... I always love learning about how things work
