Got it - upon pondering it further, it dawned upon me that
an exact answer as to the state of a DNS cannot be fully
returned, thus the James Rresiliency; an invalid DNS entry
is either just that - invalid and non-existant - or could be
suffering network connectivity issues, etc.

Does this same delay apply to invalid users ? 

I mean, if I have only one User - UserOne - and I receive a
mail for UserTwo, will it take just as long before I am
notified ??

Thanks,
Alan
