Well,
 thsi should happne, but regardin gth eparameters that i can setup, actually
i can't change nothing of the system, because the system is working well!
The postifx deliver mail, the mailserve is not so busy, yes some spam o
viruse, but normally under 1.00 of uptime.
So starting form the mailpost configuration wher i have -c XXX, 60 for th
efirst, and -c YYY, 350 for the second, i can't imagine that a mail arriving
before or after is the problem!
No, i do not know ehre is the problem, sure, buit it is not possbiel, is
uppose, that i have t adjust my postfix configuratio, or inn configuration,
cause they are working well!!

YEs, but it is a normal things!!!
The time between the dot of mail, and the rcp to deliver of the same mail,
could change larger for any reason!!

The message start , liek you can imagine, at the same time, then in the
middle of the delivery the amavisd scan the message, and after this scan the
delivery occur, with  the mailpost -c time.
