This sounds more like a DNS or Identity lookup getting nothing back and 
taking 30 seconds to time out.  This would explain why it actually works 
quite speedy from some computers.  Tarpitting should only occur on 
connections that send bad commands to the server and should persist only 
for the existing connection, not for the given IP entirely.  Verify that 
/etc/courier/esmtpd has -noidentlookup set for TCPDOPTS.  This will 
disable the identity lookup, you could do -nodnslookup but that would 
disable a lot more than you wanted...
