Almost! ;-)

OK, close enough to 0 to be meaningless. And if we really want to be accurate, my system will continue to respond with temporary error for 5 minutes. So, if the sending system retries every minute it will get 5 temporary errors. The default setting for most MTA retries is 15 minutes. So, really, it can be a maximum of 15 minute delay on the first message from a given server. But, after that negligible.

When a mail comes in, it checks the triplet client_ip/sender/recipient to see if a mail has been sent before with that triplet. If it has, the mail passes OK. If not, mail is bounced with a termporary error (this tells the clients mail server to try again in 5 minutes), and the triplet it temporarly saved. In five minutes the same mail gets sent again and the server accepts it. :-)

Nope, not have any problems your seeing. Must be a Souther Hemisphere thingy.

Naahhh. :-D

OK, how about the Western Pacific Southern Hemisphere?
