What do you mean by "slow at responding?" Do you mean that it takes a
long time for a message that is in the queue to be sent out or do you
mean that it takes a long time for incoming SMTP connections to respond?
Someone already suggested that it might be your auth port being blocked.
If it is not that you might consider verifying that your trigger pipe
is still there. You should have one in /var/qmail/queue/lock that
looks like:
prw--w--w- 1 qmails qmail 0 Sep 1 18:29 trigger
If this is not there then qmail-send will only process the queue every
20 minutes. This is also mentioned in LWQ:
