The following two settings are existing on RHEL 6.4 and RHEL 5.10. Do we really 
need to change myhostname  to fully-qualified domain name (i.e. 
cio-krc-pf03.osuad.osu.edu)?

myhostname = cio-krc-pf03
mydomain = osuad.osu.edu

The machine is already in SPF record for domain 'osu.edu'.

We hope to find out something else.

As Viktor noted, it is possible that they slow you down because

- You're sending mail from a new IP address that has no reputation,

- or you're sending mail from an old IP address that has sent them spam in the 
past,

- or there is something about your DNS records that they don't like (the IP 
address is embedded in the name of the A/PTR record, or the PTR record name 
does not match the A record), 

- or Postfix is configured to use a myhostname that does not match the A/PTR 
record,

- or you have not updated your SPF record to include the new machine,

- or a list of other things.

If they don't like you and each SMTP session needs 3 seconds, then those delays 
quickly add up to 1000.
