The traffic is low, about 100 mails / 24h. Although the hardware is pretty weak, but for this load I guess it should be enough:

That sounds like something else then.
Connect from localhost, at the very least, should be fast.

Is there already a lot of traffic on the system? What's the load of the smtp 
process?
Is there a chance that there is a large number of concurrent smtp connections 
already?

Sending mail takes long. Connecting from telnet(from anywhere) takes long. 
Receiving mail(POP3) is fast.
After hitting enter after telnet, I have the prompt instantly, but it takes 
about 30 sec to get the welcome message.

Just to get this clear, it is not sending or receiving that takes so long, but 
your actual connection attempt via telnet takes that long?
E.g. from hitting enter after 'telnet 127.0.0.1 25' to the prompt coming on?

The reverse DNS will be set in the next few days.
I also removed everything form blacklists. Even if I change in the simcontrol 
clam=no,spam=no and I do "telnet 127.0.0.1 25" it takes 30s

What does telnet 127.0.0.1 25 has to do with DNS or reverse DNS?

Hi there,

Reverse lookup on your IP is not possible yet?
That would be a VERY bad idea for any mail server.
It is highly likely that in addition to slow performance, a lot of recipients 
would block your outgoing mails as phishing or spam.

The reverse DNS is not set yet. Can this be a reason for the slow response?

Hello,

Yesterday I installed a fresh Qmail Toaster box on Centos 5.4 according to wiki.
The box works fine, but the SMTP is very slow. You have to wait about 30sec to 
send a blank message, no matter if you connect from LAN or from the internet.
I have the same response if I telnet on port 25. Even if I telnet 127.0.0.1 25
I setup bind as caching-nameserver, no change. I tried with djbdns, no change.
The server is behind an ADSL router with ports 22, 25 and 80 forwarded.
I also tried putting the server in DMZ, no change.

I out of ideas. I don't know where to look for the problem.

Please give me a clue.

Thanks!

Istvan
