Hi, Once in a while I run into this problem, in that it takes a significant amount of time to get the greeting when connecting to port 25.
What variables play into that? I use spamcop for RBL, could it be that spamcop is slow in responding and that affects courier's response time? Right now I'm experiencing delays of 30-40 seconds before getting the greeting from courier, and certainly that is causing problems. What configuration options do I have to improve this? Or better yet, how can I debug this problem? I'm running an older version of courier, 0.42.2 on linux. I'm not running any filters, the only block I have is for spamcop. It seems that if I stop courier and restart, connection times go back to normal, with immediate greeting... but after a while it "degrades" again. I have about 25,000 entries in the mailq, and this server is quite busy, mostly, about 95%, just spam being blocked (around 500,000 spams blocked by RBL alone in a matter of a few days). So the traffic is quite high. If that is the problem, how can I remedy it? How can I tell for sure whether that is indeed the problem? I can't identify why the delay is happening, and would greatly appreciate any pointers.
