Hmmmn,
You might be hit by SYN FLOOD.. (Denial of service attack on your SMTP) On
your SMTP server try this command: netstat -an |grep SYN_RECV . You're under
attack if you have numbers of SYN_RECV displayed. You may try looking for
the logs, this will show how busy your sendmail is..
regards,
Arth Paulite

Subject: [plug] re: telnet localhost 25
I tried to telnet my local machine's port 25 and I was wondering why it
took so long (about 30 secs or so) before sendmail would reply. What
could cause the delay?
Thanks,
Ian
