I thought it had to do with the load issues on the box, but I'm not too
certain about that. I just did another test - this time I emailed my
garlic.com email address directly (which is on the Postfix server) and I
received the e-mail instantly. However, emailing my patricktrak-it.com
email forward that should forward to my garlic.com e-mail address, I
still haven't received it. And I sent that before I sent the e-mail
directly to my garlic.com email address.

What should I look for to troubleshoot this problem, and how should I go
about it?

Thanks again for all the help.
