Greetings again: I found the mistake, which as might have been foreseen was my own. I gradually learned that the fsockopen failure was only on port 25, then that this delay also occurred when I telnetted to localhost 25, and finally it occurred to me to check the whole smtp chain. I use a Perl script with qmail-qfilter to reject certain kinds of spam and had added a badly conceived loop that was causing this delay, but only for mail invoking SMTP locally, or I would have noticed it much earlier.
Sorry for the noise. One nice thing about screwing up is that you sure can learn a lot trying to track down what went wrong ;-/. -- All the best (Adéu-siau), Lou Hevly [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://visca.com _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
