But they use DHCP... That gets a little complicated and I don't have time to
put too much effort in it...

Hi,
You are probably right about the DNS being the cause of the delay.
If you have no DNS available, then run a DNS server right there on your mail
machine; it can be its own. Just serve "reverse" tables for all the IP
networks your users use.
If you know that only a small set of hosts will be connecting to your
machine, then simply enter all those in /etc/hosts, and DNS will never be
consulted.
