Or is this delay caused by the > "lowest numbered MX record points to local host" error? No, mlmmj sends it immediately, it's that error causing it. It says it temporarily rejected it, which means that mlmmj puts it in the requeue directory to retry next time mlmmj-maintd runs. Can you do a find in the requeue directory after it fails? -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogical, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
