Not sure what you'd like me to fix, but the delay appears to be you
receiving from mx3.hub.org (our Toronto server) ... according to what i'm
reading in the headers below:

postgresql.org in Panama -> mx3.hub.org in Toronto -> ~1min
mx3.hub.org -> hosting.commandprompt.com -> ~11min

Mail Queue on mx3 is <200 requests ... and checking the logs, it looks
like your Greylisting is the cause of that delay:

mx3# grep commandprompt /var/log/maillog | grep Greylisting | wc -l
      256

So ... what exactly would you like me to fix at my end? :)
