This used to be my best log:

    lists: spamhaus spews1 spews2

    1964 seconds. lists: spamhaus spews1 spews2

A sender at wholesalebandwidth.com tried a total of 13 times from December 9th through 12th, giving up after one last attempt which lasted 32 minutes, 44 seconds without delivering a message.
