Could the systems having a long delay have an issue with IPv6?  Have
seen a number issues with DNS lookups that appear to be resolved if IPv6
is either configured correctly or disabled completely.  

Just a thought.

Have been using spamassassin for well over a year and it has been
great.  Highly recommended.  And if anyone is operating a full blown
email server I highly recommend checking out greylisting.  This has
reduced spam at my site from 3000 to 6000 spam messages a day to 6 or 8
spam messages.  And those get trapped by spamassassin.

Economists can certainly disappoint you.  One said that the economy would
turn up by the last quarter.  Well, I'm down to mine and it hasn't.
