I have noticed the past month that email is very fast.  I hit send and
the mailing list reply just appears in my mailbox!

You are a lucky man then ;-)

Well, yeah, it's much better, and quite often it is that fast. And then
suddenly something happens and you have a 4-6 hour delay on a couple of
mails, while others go through. But the speed-when-things-are-working is
good, yes :-P

Being a fairly new lurker to the Postgresql lists, what is the reason 
for the speed delay?  I, too, have a 3-5 hour delay, but I thought it 
was something to do with my end and greylisting.  Now I'm not sure . . . :/

Thanks,

Kevin

alot of the time, its greylisting ... but I'd be interested in seeing a copy of 
the full headers for one that has taken 3-5 hours to make sure ...

Well greylisting will certainly be part of it. However I whitelist
postgresql and I will regularly see many hour delays.

Just to follow up this one ... Kevin sent me an email including the full 
headers for one that took 12 hours to be delivered ... using the QUEUE ID, I 
checked the logs and it turns out that the mail server couldn't resolve the MX 
the first and second time it tried to deliver, but succeeded on the third ...

Same applies to you as Kevin .. please send me the full headers of one that 
takes 'many hours' to deliver, and I'll check the logs for that specific one to 
see if I can determine the cause ...

This sounds scaringly close to the problem we had on wwwmaster with it
not delivering emails. Resolving separately looked fine, but sendmail
couldn't resolve.
Could it be symptoms of the same problem?

Does postfix do any 'caching of results'?  For instance, if it got a failed 
response, would it cache that and re-use that later, pending it timing out in 
its own cache?  So try 1 failed, try 2 used cache and failed, try 3 was after 
cache timed out and re-tried, at which point the local DNS server had the right 
value ...

I don't beleive it does. The resolver library might do it though - some do, others don't.

No, but your local resolver, which probably caches, almost certainly
does.
