    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
    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.
