It seems the delay in submitting message is due to reverse lookup of my 
intranet ip address which is not resolvable.  I was able to eliminate the delay 
by setting TCPDOPTS to -nodnslookup and -noidentlookup in esmtpd.  However, I 
don't want to disable it globally and would prefer to set these options just 
for my local subnet and specific ip addresses.  It is not clear from the 
documentation whether I can do this selectively in the smtpaccess file.  If so, 
would the syntax be:

my.sub.net<tab>-nodnslookup -noidentlookup

and makesmtpaccess??

Thanks in advance for your clarification.
