If you are using tcpserve you may find that there are long delays on the
host lookups that happen by default.
The options you want to look at (if I remember correctly) are
-H ) Do not look up the remote host name in DNS
-l ) Do not look up the local host name in DNS
-R ) Do not attempt to obtain $TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host

Subject: Telnet to smtp takes long respond time
Installed qmail and it seems to work good. But, mail is often delivered with
a long delay. It is stored at my provider (can see it there via webmail).
Sometimes I cannot retrieve mail via smtp from the provider for hours. When
I do a telnet session to myhost.xs4all.nl at port 25, it takes a minute or
two for my server to respond. Could it be that every time my provider tries
to deliver mail via smtp there's a timeout error? Unfortunately, it's not
possible to take a look at the provider's smtp logfiles. If two minutes is
too long, what can I do about it?
Thanks,
Rolf.
