Actually, very few of them fail like that
And the reverse DNS is fine ... but I will check again
Almost every one completes in the first pass... but it takes forever to go
through 1000 names
Any reason why it just takes so darn long?

Mike,
If 999 of the addreses are delivered in th efirst pass, having that 1 left
could take as long as the product of your SMTP, Queue Timer * Number of
Tries,
before IMail will stop trying to deliver the message. The default values
mean
it will be 10 hours before IMail stops trying. Only delivery to ALL
addresses
will cause it to finish before that time.
The log you included, show that the remote host will not accept the message,
because it did a reverse lookup (Sender domain must resolve) and did not
find
the hostname IMail is using. That is a 'failed delivery', but IMail will
continue delivery attempts. This is a DNS issue you need to address before
mail will be accepted at the remote end.
