Hi Phil,

Are you using the same To/From addresses in your test emails outside of interchange?  (I assume so, just trying to think if there’s some way some sort of DNS issue is at play, as that’s my initial suspicion any time there are unexplained network delays.)

What versions of MIME::Lite/IC are you using?

Best,

David
