I think I got things right but this is the first time I have used Blue host.
Here is what the clients notes..

Every civimail I send out sits for two hours, and that is because I can only send in Eastern Daylight Time, but whatever that connects to is using a different time clock (not sure if it's Central Standard Time or Mountain Daylight Time). Can you or I change that so that I'm using a system with the same time zone, to avoid the two hour wait? It's very artificial, and I'm sure it would be an easy change. I've repeatly checked all the pages in Civicrm, and there's no time zone setting I can change myself, so I assume the trouble is at your end.

FYI, this came through at 3:30. As you can see here, I sent it at 1:50. http://www.nogitmos.org/civicrm/mailing?reset=1 That has been the case for every single mailing I've sent so far.

I know on our servers I had to update the php.ini

Thanks Lobo.
Here is what phpinfo shows when I run it on that server

Seems like that should be fine
