According to my ISP:

"1151821 Delays in mail delivery

one of
the servers in the SMTP cluster, pcow058m. 
This server has been taken out of the SMTP cluster while our
platform
team diagnose what is/was wrong with it, and any issues will be
resolved
before it is brought back into service. 
We'd like to thank the users who have posted the headers of the
mails
now they have arrived, and apologise for any inconvenience caused
by the
delay. 
This will have only affected a proportion of mails as it is one of
several boxes performing the SMTP server role"

So, problem sorted.
