I sent a 65K plus mailing out today. It looks to me that it's queuing pretty fast, but I may not be the best at reading the log. The mailing still took about 3 hours or so--is that normal? Here's an excerpt from the log: 12 Feb 2013 14:57:39 >MAIL FROM:<[log in to unmask]> 12 Feb 2013 14:57:39 <250 2.1.0 Sender OK 12 Feb 2013 14:57:39 >RCPT TO:<[log in to unmask]> 12 Feb 2013 14:57:39
