I've been having trouble sending email that was sent via a process(swatch). I can send emails fine via command-line and receive immediately to the forwarded address. However when sent via swatch it can take 5-10 minutes. These entries appear in /var/log/mailllog. Note this is all relating to the same email and notice the 11 minute delay. Thanks in advance for any help.
