What email client are you using to send your email? It does make a whole lotta difference, trust me.

I use mutt and sending email is lightning fast, same thing goes for IMAP access. I remember that before, using Claws-Mail I had the same laggy sensation, which sometimes made me despair (timeouts, errors, etc).

I don't suppose you'd be looking at a console email program, right?

using it for a phpbb3 forum :)
and gmail... well the sending part is fast, but it takes soooo long to get THROUGH the system to the other side if you know what i mean. sending test emails take hours to arrive :(

EDIT: SMTP server preferably uses port 465 or port 25
