The system is a virtualized Debian Lenny with the maximum amount of RAM recommended by VMware: 900 MB. When send a first mail through the system (after a long period of no mail activity) it takes 20 to 25 seconds to pass. The next mails take only 1 or 2 seconds to pass. Now I have marked out all scanners, so: in -> postfix -> amavis -> postfix -> out first mail: 20-25 sec next mails 1-2 sec When amavis is pulled out it also takes 1 or 2 seconds for the 1st mail. That's why I "think" it's amavis related.
