Hm. Well, both machines have real names in real DNSes, though you seem
to have hit the problem on the head regardless. Sure enough, when I
looked at the program that was executing without delay (the one in which
I use Net::SMTP directly, not Mail::Internet), I found that I'd been
supplying the Hello parameter. If I comment it out, there's the delay
again.

So it really does seem to be a DNS lookup that's the problem.

I put that in as you suggested, on line 218 of Net::Domain 2.09. It
didn't seem to help matters, though.

Thanks,
