MailScanner+PostFix ---- try this

[Kash, Howard (Civ,ARL/CISD)]

Still doesn't work with 1.  I added a line to log $ModDate{$file} and
the current time.  It appears that the mod time on the queue files is
around 15 minutes in the future??  This explains why queue files always
show up with the year instead of the time in a long listing (ls -l).
Should I try "time + 15*60 - 3"? :-)

All it made happen was that it wouldn't process a message until it had
sat
in the deferred queue for 3 seconds, it should still process them all
but
with a 3 second latency. Try reducing the 3 to 1 and see if that helps
at all.
