When was email *ever* expected to be real-time?  If you need real time, use IM (the clue is in the "I"), or pick up the 
phone.

if you simply run the smtpd on port 25 of the little boxy thing with the blinking lights and the big shiney apple on it on your desk (which has for most applications replaced the big dusty mainframe in the basement to which your (real-time interactive!) terminal on your desk connected.. and give it a "real" ip, its pretty much real time.

and that's how it was meant to be used, yet made impossible by those dusty old self-declared 'spam fighters', with their clearly non working methods.
