Hello, I have recently spun up a Postfix server that is currently in a testing phase. It is currently not being used at the moment - so there is zero load on this server.
I am actively using Postfix 2.11, SpamAssassin 3.3.1 and Dovecot 2.0.9 for POP3. When I try sending a basic test e-mail through PowerShell using my Postfix box as the SMTP server - I'm seeing 20-40+ second delays in the /var/log/maillog per e-mail. Here is what I see in the logs: Mar 12 07:59:36 postfix/smtpd[21189]: connect from unknown[10.1.10.45] Mar 12 07:59:36 postfix/smtpd[21189]: 2E69C1E0203: client=unknown[10.1.10.45] Mar 12 07:59:36 postfix/cleanup[21191]: 2E69C1E0203: message-id=<> Mar 12 07:59:36 postfix/qmgr[20944]: 2E69C1E0203: from=<me@workdomain>, size=414, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 12 07:59:36 spamd[15544]: spamd: connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] at port 56378 Mar 12 07:59:36 spamd[15544]: spamd: setuid to spamfilter succeeded Mar 12 07:59:36 spamd[15544]: spamd: processing message (unknown) for spamfilter:5001 Mar 12 07:59:36 spamd[15544]: spamd: clean message (-0.9/5.0) for spamfilter:5001 in 0.1 seconds, 439 bytes.

Is the above normal? Or is there something I can tweak to have these go out quicker? I'm completely open to suggestions. Here is my Postfix configuration: >>postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 debugger_command = PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin ddd $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5 home_mailbox = Maildir/ html_directory = no inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = ipv4 local_recipient_maps = mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mime_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/mime_header_checks mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain mydomain = mydomain myhostname = localhost mynetworks = 10.1.1.0/24, 127.0.0.0/24, 10.1.10.0/24 mynetworks_style = subnet myorigin = $mydomain newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix notify_classes = resource, software, bounce queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.11.0/README_FILES relay_domains = $mydomain relayhost = sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.11.0/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/vhosts virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmaps virtual_minimum_uid = 1000 virtual_uid_maps = static:5000' Any help is very much appreciated!
