Title: Message

Is it an auth (ident) time-out? Is your firewall logging denies on port 113?

Interesting. When I have all ports open, I get a 220 return right away. When only 25 is open, I get a 220 return after exactly 30 seconds every time.

 

I tried telnetting to other mail servers with ports other than 25 closed and they connect right away. So its obvious now this isn't a problem with SA. I just wish I knew why my mail server takes 30 seconds. It's Qmail and I haven't found anything showing that it needs some other port before opening a connection.

 

Thanks for your help.
