You're exactly right! I'm not using so-called 'nolisting' by choice, I simply *have to* set it up like this. >> Can this 'cascade' of technics could cause sender xmail to enter in a = >> sort of loop on retries in some circonstence ? >> >> First think to do is to return to a basic setup, at least 'reactivate' = >> your primary mx on port 25 to see if delays go away went your server = >> directly receive the mail.

How's that for monogamy! I took your advice Ivo and I've opened an account at rollernet. XMail is listening on two smtp ports now (using a PREROUTING table in iptables) and I've changed the MX records of one of my domains to redirect mail through rollernet. Let's see what happens... If this works I'll change all my accounts and I'll never have to use my ISP's mailrelay server (service?) again! And maybe I'll give GLST another try ;-) Thanks everyone for all your tips and advice!
