why should it? (just a rethorical question due to my frustration :-) )

it's just the same delay... :((((
the only thing that changed is that now the welcome message is:
[root@mail control]# telnet mail 25
Trying 192.168.168.145...
Connected to mail.umc.cl.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 [192.168.168.145] ESMTP
