Almost! ;-)
OK, close enough to 0 to be meaningless. And if we really want to be
accurate, my system will continue to respond with temporary error for 5
minutes. So, if the sending system retries every minute it will get 5
temporary errors. The default setting for most MTA retries is 15 minutes.
So, really, it can be a maximum of 15 minute delay on the first message from
a given server. But, after that negligible.
When a mail comes in, it checks the triplet client_ip/sender/recipient
to see if a mail has been sent before with that triplet. If it has, the
mail passes OK. If not, mail is bounced with a termporary error (this
tells the clients mail server to try again in 5 minutes), and the
triplet it temporarly saved. In five minutes the same mail gets sent
again and the server accepts it. :-)
Nope, not have any problems your seeing. Must be a Souther Hemisphere
thingy.
Naahhh. :-D
OK, how about the Western Pacific Southern Hemisphere?
