If I'm reading the Wiki entry correctly
(http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/MiscFeatures#head-75a75a2d52fe4fb1447a5e2e428cfd504af56b01),
delay pools won't wait for a DNS lookup (as required by the dstdomain
ACL) to determine if there is a match. Adding...

http_access allow mail_delay_pool_users free_mail

...before the delay pool line should cause the lookup to be performed,
thereby only delaying access to the sites specified.

In theory.
