Reasons why sending with Exim can be slow?
What are they? Above apply only while sending from local network. It's not a hosts, problem and I don't run it from inetd. No other service has similar problems. I even reinstalled exim again. It's not fault on OS's on local computer(unless it affects only port 25) as I have 98/2000 on same computer, and both of them have same problem with mail. All networking otherwise works perfectly from LAN to email server. Exim.conf is same as before, I even recopied from backups my old one to be sure. I'm bit puzzled.

In 90% of such situations the problem was DNS (or lack of it). 1) Enable maximum logging in debugging where possible (exim, bind, ...). 2) Play with `host' and `dig' utilities to check whether DNS and reverse-DNS records for all hosts are present. 3) Try to telnet manually to port 25 and send some mail. Notice when the delay occurs. 4) Read logs. 5) Goto 1) :) Wanted -- +-+ | Sekcja Obslugi Informatycznej Biblioteki Glownej !!! !!! .!! + | Uniwersytet Gdanski !!! !!! !!! | + tel.

If so, came the machine properly reach a name server? bob -- bob billsonemail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ham: kc2wz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux geek /) Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin. beekeeper -8|||} --Dorothy \) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Curiously, I went to sleep and during night the whole problem disappereaded! I rebooted windows computer before I started to ask about problem, tried two diffren OS's, looked all settings linux server and just got perpexled. Has this something to do with conjuction of stars ??? But this is not first time similar has happened. By year of experience of stable potato, it seems that about once a year networking connections mysteriously start to crawl and then revert back to normal after a while. This time problem wasn't big. Last time all traffic started to crawl big time. I have suspicion it has something to do with potato networking. First thought would be to find problems in Windows. But somehow I've had some minor problems with from potato elsewhere too. I atleast remember having some curious problems with potato network interface that conneects to internet(I use masq). Potato really stable to use, but I've got impression that sometimes it has some curious, minor problems with networking that go away after a while(or then I just have lot of problematic hardware). Or is it normal with servers?
