[Tfug] mail problem

[Jeffry Johnston]

Interesting.  I've also been suffering from slow SSH connecting.. maybe it
also has something to do with DNS (although that'd be strange as I am using
the IP address, but who knows what all ssh is doing behind the scenes, guess
I should download the source sometime)

Thanks for the tip,
Jeff
