Hi all 

Not sure where to look first  . 

 

I am finding that sending mail through my exim box is taking an age and I am
not sure why  I will give you a brief explanation of the setup 

And some thoughts on what I think (probably incorrectly) might be causing
it. 

 

This is a home setup so there are two of us but we both have 2 domains and
we each have about three accounts on each for different purposes 

Work, home, account used to sign up for stuff etc. 

 

I run Ubuntu Debian 

I use SA-EXIM which I have not changed much from default and I am using the
monolithic configuration file 

I use SSL (port 465)  with plain authentication against a separate passwd
file so the mail users do not have system accounts 

 

I use Dovecot for IMAP access and outlook and Outlook express (various
versions have been tried all with the same results) 

I am currently running Outlook 2007 

 

Reading mail is fine and works fast 

Sending mail however takes a very long time  the client will say connecting
...   securing ..  then eventually the mail will go 

This happens both remotely and on the local LAN  

 

I wondered if it was Exim doing a DNS lookup on the client which could be
failing and causing a delay?  

If this is possible, how would I turn this off for authenticated clients to
eliminate it  

 

Any suggestions much appreciated 

 

Regards 

Hill Ruyter
