Thank you everyone for your helpful responses. I've narrowed the problem down further, though it is not solved yet. It does not appear to be specific to postfix. I've written a simple program with a select statement that delays 10 seconds when run on any of my own computers, but when run on the virtual machine hosting my mailserver it returns immediately. I'm suspecting a vmware related problem, but I don't know yet...

Accurate time keeping is one of the dirty secrets of virtualization.

Thank you Wietse, I needed something to lighten my day... Perhaps I'm having an experience of time converging to 0. Now, if I could only get everything done in that timeframe....
