Generally, most mail will sit in a queue for around 3 days before |
| 11 |
failing to deliver - but that depends on the host/server. So, the odd |

Also, it's worth double-checking to see if your ISP will allow port 25 |
| 15 |
inwards. Some don't, and you wouldn't want to do all that work only to |
| 16 |
find nothing happening! :/ |
