I'm doing some advance testing of PC-Pine 4.10 and another user reported to
me that there was a delay in sending messages.  I've been using my personal
UNIX workstation as the SMTP server so it's been quick.  However, if you
use our multiuser UNIX box (even when the load is low), you can expect
20-30 seconds delay when you tell it to send the message.  IMAP's not doing
a thing so where is the delay coming from?  Is there any way to minimize
it?  Thanks.

It is early here, so I'm just confirming that when you hit "send" on PC-Pine
you see the indication that the message is being send....but it takes 20-30
seconds for even a short message to be sent.

You've tried PC-Pine using 2 different SMTP hosts.  One is your Unix
workstation and the other the shared Unix server.  With your box all is OK.
It is interfacing with the shared server that shows the delay.

This is a "guess".  Are the Unix systems using differenet versions of
sendmail or different configurations?  It is possible that the shared Unix
host is doing reverse DNS lookups on the incoming SMTP connections and due
to configuration issues in your DNS it may be taking some time to time out.
