Chuck,
I was seeing this. I noticed in the logs that Thunderbird is trying first to log in using MD5/CRAM and failing (because I had not enabled that capability in my Courier installation), and then trying PLAIN auth. I couldn't figure out how to make Thunderbird not try MD5/CRAM first, so I got rid of the delay by simply telling Thunderbird not to authenticate for SMTP, which works fine for me since I am inside a protected intranet that I've configured Courier esmtpd to allow unauthenticated relaying for.

I'm experiencing an issue and wondering if anybody might have an idea as to the cause. Whenever I connect via Thunderbird to the Courier server to send a message, there is a long delay of many seconds before the message is sent. By tailling the syslog, I've determined that no log messages are generated during the delay. The first message generated is couriersmtpd: started. After this message, all completes quickly. Courier logging is running at info level.
Other connections from Thunderbird to Courier (e.g., IMAP, POP) do not have this delay, only SMTP. This is simple SMTP on port 25.
Any ideas?
