Your right. it is - my typo.

mailq -Ac only shows the submitting entry.

I did a "useradd panel" then "mail panel" and entered my text. its all on the local machine.
I do have a .procmailrc file that just matches subject and forwards that onto another app. This works fine. Its just delayed by 2 minutes.

I tried: mail panel mail panel@localhost mail panel@localhost.localdomain mail panel@machine.domain.com (insert actual machine and domain)
All the above have the same slow 2 minute delay.
This is odd.
