Delayed posting of emailed blog posts

One of the main problems that I've had with Blogger is that blog posts that are submitted via email are frequently not posted in a timely manner. Usually they appear within a few minutes, but I seen them take over a day or in some cases over a week to post. I would say that about 1 in 3 times a significant delay occurs.

Sometimes the email post will bounce back with a cryptic "alias" error message, or sometimes with a "mailer" error even too cryptic to explain at all.

Blogger does know about these email-related problems and they say that they are working on them, but it's a real pain, especially since posting via email is such a joy when it really works.
