    Why does it take 'a while' for email sent from gmail-, live, or yahoo to show up in mailcatch?

    There are some limits on mailcatch SMTP server to disallow too many connections from the same hosts at the same time, but it should not affect things like yahoo/...

    The server was a bit overwhelmed for a while but recently (like a few hours ago ;) I have set up a new code update that should make it handle things much better.
    Time will tell :)

    Maybe restrict tarpitting to mail coming from specific webmail accounts rather than penalizing all webmail users? :)

    True enough..
    i'm doing it this way currently because I can simply count the number of connections per IP and clsoe them as soon as they come if over the limit.
    If I check the target it will be further in the request.

    But yes this could be done. I had planned to do some improvments to the SMTP code soonish, I'll take a look
