postgrey does the whitelist a domain after so many sucessful tries. I do |
| 30 |
use that as well. Don't get me wrong, most of my mail is delivered right |
| 31 |
after the 5 minute limit. I just wanted to warn the OP that on a few |
| 32 |
occasions, mail can take longer. According to RFC specs, it can take up to |
| 33 |
4 hours. With the real estate company I work for, even one message taking 4 |
| 34 |
hours is unacceptable. |
