They receive emails from two other Phuket companies with up to 17-hours delay. All other emails were received on time. After we checked the mail headers we saw what these two companies were sending through TT&T Maxnet SMTP server.

If you experienced similar delays with TT&T Maxnet please let us know.

The proper solution for companies is to use the SMTP server from their hosting provider. Please feel free to contact us if you want to know how to set it up.
