smtp delay

I am attempting to use relay.plus.net to send notifications from a home server, but I find that there are large delays between the message being accepted and when it finally gets delivered here is an obfuscated example that was sent 13:40 on Saturday and arrived at 10:12 on Sunday ie 17 hours later. I am using python to send to the relay. Is there anything I can do to eliminate the delay? By comparison webmail is almost instantaneous. It is needless to say that this doesn't happen if I use smtp.google.com to do the relay. What causes this delay?
