These two warnings are correct. The IP address resolves to a name,
but that name does not resolve at all, or it resolver to a different
IP address.

Do you see "connect from unknown" for the client systems that
complain about delays?
When doing "telnet servername 25" from an affected client, how long
does it take for the server to respond with "220 servername ..."?
