   Ah.  This is interesting.  I ran it on my system to produce:

   Looks fairly similar, I don't see what the problems are... esp since we
are both using STMP.  Cound it be the DNS lookup?  With it enabled, I get
funny bounces and hangs during mail fetching under some circumstances.
Much of that when I get spammage.

   I had to remove it, as it seemed to drop my mail into the void when it
was in place.
