The automated message is sent within seconds and received by ip-3.mailobj.net. If there is a delay it appears to be on the receiving end. Here's what I see on the mail server: Message to bugs@ received: Nov 11 13:41:30 mail smtpd[65885]: 7ec5dc4ad1012e28 smtp envelope evpid=33a42d22c9897cf0 from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> Nov 11 13:41:34 mail smtpd[65885]: 7ec5dc4c33a601e6 mda delivery evpid=33a42d22c9897cf0 from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> rcpt=<[email protected]> user=_smtpd delay=6s result=Ok stat=Delivered Response generated and delivered: Nov 11 13:41:53 mail smtpd[65885]: 7ec5dc68d7cfc84b smtp envelope evpid=d39061c9bb410e43 from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> Nov 11 13:41:53 mail smtpd[65885]: 7ec5dc6b35fd9003 mta connecting address=smtp://213.182.54.3:25 host=ip-3.mailobj.net Nov 11 13:41:53 mail smtpd[65885]: 7ec5dc68d7cfc84b smtp disconnected reason=quit Nov 11 13:41:55 mail smtpd[65885]: 7ec5dc6b35fd9003 mta delivery evpid=d39061c9bb410e43 from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> rcpt=<-> source="199.185.178.25" relay="213.182.54.3 (ip-3.mailobj.net)" delay=2s result="Ok" stat="250 Message to be delivered" If you look at the timestamp in the Received: headers in the message you should be able to see where the delay is being introduced. - todd
