With the newer kernels (last one 2.0.13), it's getting almost impossible
to send mail across the Atlantic, which is around 15% - 30% packet loss
(via ping) from here. These mails just sit in the queue forever until
sendmail times them out and sends them via the backup mailer (which is a
HP).

The joy of engineering is to find a straight line on a double
logarithmic diagram.
