Mail delays

Just had several e-mails turn up, many days after they were sent. As far as I can tell the problem is at Vodafone/Ihug. I have posted the headers below, so those more proficient can confirm where the problem is. Has anyone else experienced such problems?

To me it looks like a Vodafone server got the e-mail on the 6th of August and didn’t pass it on to the Ihug server until the 16th of August – 10 days later.

I will be very unhappy if this occurs again.
