Hm. Might this also be the reason why I have these long timeouts when
connecting to my servers (SMTP without authentication)? But I have no
firewall and the latest PMMail/2 beta.
On the ohter hand, it sounds like a problem with the ISP, not with
PMMail - and I have the delays in all 2.2 betas only, not in PMMail/2
2.1.

Strange!
