Are you trying to get ident/auth information from the smtp connection?
If so and you denying packets to the ident/auth port, there can be
significant delays while the attempted connection to the ident/auth
server times out.

[Soffen, Matthew]

A couple of things could be at work here:
1) Your mail server is running identd and its taking 3 minutes timing out
trying to determine your identity.
2) The IP address you are connecting from is not in DNS properly, so you are
timing out with DNS trying to do a reverse DNS Lookup.
