I've been running qmail for a while now on my linux box (pent-133, 32MB of
ram), but in
the last week or so, I notice that when users attempting to connect via
their MUA (usually
windows clients), qmail is taking upwards of 60-90 seconds to respond, and
I am using the
-H and -R options with tcpserver. I do notice entries of tcpserver
appearing about once per
minute on qmail-pop3d. Also, when I try to telnet to the mail server from
another machine
on my lan which is allowed to do so, I notice a delay as well in getting
the ESMTP greet
message.
Does anyone have ideas what is going on? We wind up processing less than
250 emails
a day, so it should be a load related issue (load avgs are generally less
than 0.20)
