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