Slow Response from Port 25/QMail

[Mark Walsh]

Most of the time, I try to send a message and it will time out.  Even
attempting to Telenet to the port will not always pop right up so that I can
type helo firewall.  It may take 60 seconds or a 2nd,3rd attempt to send
mail.  The problem seems only to be internal, but outside the office, seems
to work well.  My IP Masqurading seems to be ok since I have no trouble
getting on the internet.  WHy is QMAIL so slow in responding?
