As you know Gerard, I'm not the contentious type;-). No wars in sight...
You are quite right, Rianto could have been as detailed as he (or is
that a female name?) eventually was here, but that is not my point...
All I say is that they could have asked for relevant information (not
just the "use of MailScanner disqualifies you from ever getting our
help" line).
As you did here.
I don't think there is any argument here, is there?

Yes,I think it a bit ... extreme... too. But with the figures of
incoming mail s/he cites, if the qmgr really only wakeup every five
minutes... that *will* land him/her with a seemingly slow delivery,
there is no argumenting with that. On the other hand, I'm sure one
could try affect the operation of the qmgr other ways that might get
the same effect, or even some MailScanner setting.
I'm very busy/tired ATM, so haven't spent even close to enough time
looking at this problem ...  Perhaps shouldn't be posting on the list
at all... Sigh - Where did things like "free time" and "relaxation"
go?:-)

Cheers
