I'm not sure if this is true with courier but when it comes to any other service 99.9999999% of the time when there is a delay with the initial response to a connection is due to DNS. Either your machine can't resolve it's own name or can't resolve the name of person connecting (this mean reverse look-up NOT just regular lookup). Make sure your server can resolve AND REVERSE resolve both itself and connecting host (e.g. host 127.0.0.1, host localhost, host local_IP, host connecting_host's_URL, host connecting_host's_IP, MUST all resolve). The delay you are getting is courier trying to resolve then finally giving up, of course there is a .0000001% chance that this is actually a courier server problem (as opposed to a configuration problem on your end) but this unlikely since really no one else (at least not a significant persentage) has reported this problem.
