This the result of root executing "sendmail -bv mungedactualalias".
I notice some unusual delays. You have a 10s delay between the
cleanup daemon dropping mail into the incoming queue, and the qmgr
scheduler opening the file for delivery. Then, there is a 31
seconds delay between the local daemon finishing delivery, and the
qmgr scheduler removing the message from the queue.
Possible explanations:
- Your mail server runs on a very slow CPU or file system.
- Your mail server is virtualized (VM, jail, zone, etc.) and gets
only a fraction of the resources of a real machine.
- Your mail server is suffering from 100x red-shift due to the
rapid expansion of the universe.
Sending Postfix off into space to study time dilation effects, that
is an option that I haven't considered before.
