I did add "-noidentlookup -nodnslookup" to TCPDOPTS in /etc/courier/esmtpd and restarted courier
It does not changed the situation. You say "courier doesn't use your local resolver". While doing tcpdump it looks like it talk to my local DNS. Do you mean courier use the DNS server pointed out in /etcd/resolve or not ? If not, where does the reverse lookup come from ? I also searched the past courier mailing lists for things like ident and DNS but where not successful. Do you have any more precise information when this was discussed ? I also understand from the tcpdump that all reverse lookup and ident traffic happend before the "220 x.y Ready" message comes ? I would like to run some strace of the couriertcpd process but has not figured out how to do this. Can some one pls advice how to do this ? /Lars -----Original Message----- From: Mitch (WebCob) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sat 2/14/2004 11:48 PM To: Holmstr�m Lars; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [courier-users] delay in HELO response I would expect courier itself is having problems doing the reverse lookup... iirc, courier doesn't use your local resolver, so it does its own DNS. Try turning off revser lookups and or ident - see where your problem lies. There was discussion about this before, Sam wanted performance in the reverse lookup - of course if the firewall restricts outbound queries or doesn't do stateful allows on outbound UDP you could have a problem. Unless you need it turn it off? If you need it, figure out couriers port symantecs and modify your firewall? m/ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Holmstr�m > Lars > Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2004 2:03 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [courier-users] delay in HELO response > > > I have a 0.44.2 installation on a RH8.0 with webmail, imap, pop3 and a few > more modules. > > My users, and myself, have no problem using pop3, imap and > webmail, but when > sending mail via SMTP I got a long delay before the mail actually is > recieved by courier. > > My LAN has no firewall.
