Okay, now we're starting to get enough information. The problem is that
injection of mail via SMTP (from clients on your local network(s),
presumably) seems slow.
You did already post the startup scripts you were using for qmail, but I've
misplaced that email. Are you using tcpserver? If so, are you disabling
identd lookups and name lookups on the remote host (options -H and -R to
tcpserver)? That will save you some time on each connect.
What is the contents of /var/qmail/control/timeoutsmtpd ? It defaults to
1200 seconds. If you've set this much lower, your clients could timeout
if they pause while sending mail.
