Len, no disrespect intended, but I do accept help when offered and have
answered you a number of times in the past. All I ever seem to get from you
is public complaints (emailing me first and then the list 7 minutes later is
a perfect example). I've sent the DNS issues to my ISP, but I fail to see
how they are of massive importance to only you (re your isp taking you off
the list).
Now, as for the machine, I've got 256 meg of ram and a high processor on it
already. I'll upgrade to a new machine as time and finances permit. As for
the delays, I've done a lot to fix them, but if people keep trying to route
through the server and send badly formatted email headers, problems will
continue to pop up. This WILL change as new systems go online. I'd say that
90%+ of the time, the mail delay is within 10 minutes which is quite
acceptable.
