OK, thanks for the info.

Still leaves the question why SIMS waits 30 sec on DNS lookup, while 
"Verify Return Paths" is unchecked (or has DNS lookup nothing to do 
with return paths?). On the other hand doing mx lookups for 
dnsreports.com gives:

dnsreport.com                 MX    65151   10    mail.dnsreport.com
mail.dnsreport.com            A     7523    24.240.171.218

but:

218.171.240.24.in-addr.arpa  PTR   206     24-240-171-218.hsacorp.net

The ptr record does not refer to mail.dnsreport.com, so SIMS can not 
verify, but still waits 30 sec, why?
