You don't know how TuxFamily's servers work ;)

Sure, 1 hour is too long for an IP paquet to travel across the ocean,
but i tried to mean that one hour to make a mail delivery on a busy
server is quite common but not the norm (DNS timeout, connection
timeout, inverse resolve, etc ...).

Yes, I made a big timezone mistake :/

I hope TuxFamily clock are correctly synchronized since i'm the ntp
master here. But it seems i still have problems with timezone ;)
