Are ok those rules to not filter smtp?

Are ok those rules to not filter smtp?

[Alfredo Muchut]

When I send a mail, there is a delay of  15 second. Why is this problem?

Thank you, for your help.

If the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement.
If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
