Eric, Yes, they are there and constant with 127.0.0.1 in the first position of my resolv.conf file. If I move it back to the last position it's ok. I am not entirely clear on what this is supposed to do. Any place I can read up on this?
I am still having a delay, but noticed if I stop and restart qmail I get all the mail. Ideas on how to begin to troubleshoot? I remember someone on the list a few days ago experiencing the same issue, but paid little attention then.
