There is no official MX record for devcentos5x64.msgnet.com there is for pagestation.com. on pagestation.com I have the /etc/hosts entry and /etc/mail/access entry for devcentos5x64.msgnet.com Perhaps its an MX lookup timeout value. I am looking for a timeout setting or a way to place an entry in a config file that says "I know this server or machine", trust it and dont delay. Is there such a setting? Jerry
