This slowness with SM is indicative of a dns/rbl problem, typically a dns
timeout caused by who knows what. I'd have a look at the contents of
/etc/resolv.conf. Since you're running a local dns server, the first
nameserver entry should be 127.0.0.1. You should be using a static IP
address on your toaster so that DHCP doesn't overwrite this file. If you can
dig some sample external domains in quick fashion, then you probably are
using an rbl which is having problems.
If your dns server is just a localcache (recursive) server and not
authoritative, I'd recommend using bind instead of djbdns. To use bind,
remove what you have for djbdns, then
# yum -y install bind bind-chroot caching-nameserver
That's all there is to it.
As for the errant submitter @192.168.1.19, have you tried adding this
address to the /etc/spamdyke/whitelist_ip file?
