please note that by design smtp doesn't give any guarantee of delivering 
mail in any finite amount of time.
your ISP probably uses greylisting to cut back spam. this is perfectly 
legal smtp server behaviour, but has side effects such as randomly 
delaying messages. you can try to complain to your mail server 
administrator, but i doubt this will have any effect.
