I got 0 for deferred, 2 for incoming. I may have network configuration issues causing this. We are changing ISPs and after reconfiguring our gateway, the delay has dropped down to 47 and 56 seconds. Earlier messages were 104 and 287 which was fairly typical.
Most of the time, mailq is empty except for a couple held messages I havn't gotten around to dealing with yet.
