I think the "spam storm" simply choked your somewhat vulnerable server.
IMHO installing spamdyke is the best way to beef up your toaster's
ability to withstand such situations (and increase its overall
capacity). Short of that, you should be at least using a few RBLs.

Sorry for not providing entire details. Running with centos 4.4 (32

blacklist file is empty.
Thanks and Regards,

Dear List,
All my services are working fine. can get response
instantly from ports 110,587,143. But it takes 40 to 50 sseconds to
get resonse from port 25. My smtp and other log look very ordinary. I
am getting this problem from 3 different servers.
1. My blacklist file is empty.
2. The mail trafic is very very low. In one server its 5/100 in average.
3. I have not updated any software/hardware/DNS entry for months.
4. The telnet response getting late in 25 from outside domain and
inside server (telnet localhost 25).
5. I am facing this problem for the past 8 hours.
6. But the mails are coming from other domains(slowly).
7. I have restarted qmail and server couple of times.
Seems some of the others also getting the same problem. Please suggest
me to fix the problem.
Thanks and Regards,
S.Senthilvel,
