"yes" was clear for sure but what follows was not so much for me, I mean what I say.
A last question: can a "a" delay be the result of I/O writing issues on the incoming queue ? I suppose "yes" reading the manual (a = time from message arrival to last active queue(http://www.postfix.org/QSHAPE_README.html#active_queue) entry) but i am confused with your answer. (This message took ~16 minutes to go from "RCPT TO:" to ".", there was no delay moving it from incoming to active). I expected something like that: "This message took ~16 minutes to go from "RCPT TO:" to "complete incoming queue writing".
