[P.S.] In the James config.xml, specifying the DNS as authoritative or not doesn't have an impact on this particular issue. So it's something about the specification of the secondary DNS resources, and their availability.

Thank you very, very much for offering to probe a bit into my problem.

I think I have a solution but I don't understand it. Without the solution, here is what I see in the spool log w/ DEBUG:

On the sending machine:
--The e-mail is sent. The log goes quiet.

On the receiving machine:
--Nothing.
--Then some 15 seconds later, the mail comes in.

Now here's the thing:

I am running a DNS server on .10. On all machines, the primary DNS is given as this machine. I also have a couple of external DNS's listed, but typically the router is unplugged from the outside internet.

First, in the James config.xml, I changed the DNS listing (to 192.168.50.10) to authoritative=true. This seemed to make no difference.

Then--and this is the interesting bit--I removed the two external DNS servers. Now there's no delay.

Also, when I *did* have the two external secondary DNS servers, if I plugged my router in so that those two were reachable: No delay.

So . . . Why would the reachability of non-authoritative secondary DNS make a difference either way?

Turn on debug for the spoolmanager, and check to see if there are any delays
between steps.
