It looks like the redhat.com servers got backed up earlier today. There
was a number of hours where no new messages came through, but then they
started up again this afternoon.
The non-original ordering is consistant with an smtp server somewhere
working it's way through a backlog of cached messages.
SMTP doesn't really try to guarantee timely or in-order delivery... just
that your message will either be delivered or returned.
