Usually you are running two versions of sendmail. Check the sendmail flags you are using for something like -q5m. If you see this, try changing the value and see if that effects your delivery time. -Derek >On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 6:22 PM, Derek Ragona ><<mailto:derek@computinginnovations.com>derek@computinginnovations.com> wrote: >>At 03:49 PM 8/15/2008, Tom Stuart wrote: >>>I've been having trouble sending email that was sent via a process(swatch). >>>I can send emails fine via command-line and receive immediately to the >>>forwarded address.
