looks like this server was just slow - [mx-out-04b.sjc1.discourse.org](http://mx-out-04b.sjc1.discourse.org)

got the emails 11mins after they were sent (looked at headers).  
localhost sent the email immediately, then 04b took 11mins to contact google.

whereas server mx-out-04c took a 1 second to contact google.
