Hi, when i go to my emails to view what i have, i have some gerrit emails. Looking in them shows that i have a code review +2. Clicking link takes me to the patch. But looking at the time. It shows 8am on my email and 12 am on the gerrit code review.
this problem has been happening since gerrit 2.13. Gerrit 2.12 was not a problem. This should be fixed as users who read there emails will get confused on which ones to read as old ones will show as new ones.
For example this change https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/341630 it was merged at 12:05am my time but my email is showing as it being c+2 at 8:31 am my time.
https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/ is working in sending the email to my email at the correct times.
I found this in the log on phabricator test instantance in labs /var/log/exim4/mainlog

Hard to tell if this is a phab/gerrit problem, or just a slow email server problem. Leaving operations tag for now. Maybe @demon can help?
Well this is unrelated, and expected. Labs should not be able to reach the prod mailserver anyway...
Either way, we shouldn't be sending labs e-mails via the prod mailserver. I'm not worried about labs at all right now. Trying to see if/what is up with production here...
Also: I'm not seeing any delay on getting Phabricator e-mails. For example: replies to this are in my inbox immediately.
Last point: there's no back up of pending jobs on either gerrit or phabricator. Issue here is either local mail provider or a confusion between labs and production.
But how comes email's are showing up as late for me? gerri-review is working perfectly.
I'm pretty sure this is a local issue for you / your ISP, nobody else is seeing this issue.
I did a comment on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/340900/6 and am still waiting for the email.
I have now tested with my outlook account and same problem email taking too long to show up except from the email that was sent asking me to confirm my email for gerrit.
Yes that worked too, but after confirming the email and writing a comment here https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/340900/7 i still have not received the you have a comment email.

That sounds to me like Yahoo is throttling emails from mx1001. Given the large number of issues we have with Yahoo's mail servers, I would suggest @Paladox asks them to fix this.
Other users have reported it here https://forums.yahoo.net/t5/Sending-and-receiving/Delays-in-receiving-emails/m-p/205982/highlight/false#M32538 too
@valhallasw Hi, yahoo tells me that they doint throttle emails but they do have an internal thing that can block specific domains.
"Yahoo doesn't throttle emails but we do have internal filters in place for security purposes. It does sound like our internal filters may be blocking specific domains. To have this investigated you would need to contact our postmaster team here."
I have filled T160381 as wikimedia will need to fill out a form to get yahoo investigating it further.
