However, I think you mentioned in an earlier message that you didn't believe that a delay of the magnitude of 19 hours ought to be possible. From a competent mail service, one would hope not, but some months ago I found myself completely unable to send messages to most FreeBSD mailing lists and debugged this with sterling help from postmaster@. My email provider could wait *days* before retrying an email which was greylisted. It took four days for a message to arrive in test@ and the mail logs clearly showed them failing to retry at any kind of acceptable interval. For the record, this was my broadband provider blueyonder.co.uk - now owned by Virgin - who were *no help whatsoever*. Luckily, I have kept up a dial-in provider as well and always used my email address from them; they provide an authenticated SMTP gateway, so I'm not disenfranchised any longer :-) (They've recently been taken over by Tiscali, so I hope that their previous standard of service keeps up). Just a data point for the archives. Great obspamd write-up too! --Alex
