Mail is flowing here at espersunited.com, but SMTP connection is really slow. Takes over a minute to connect to the server box and send an email. I checked the FAQ and sendmail.org and it suggested something I could try. I tried it, and it spead smtp up by a few seconds, but not much more. The FAQ said that if their fix didn't work it was probably a DNS issue. I don't think there's much I can do about it for now until I learn more about DNS...
