well (in reference to the first person's query) the logs don't seem to
show anything too strange as far as i can see;
dns is resolving pretty quick; in fact it's resoving to a caching
install of bind at the moment (i think someone did that in case that was
the problem. as you can see, localhost is the default resolver and this
particular query took 2 msec. the other two nameservers are on the same
lan.

here's the startup script:
zugzug # cat /etc/init.d/qmail-start
csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
zugzug # cat /var/qmail/rc
#!/bin/sh
# Using splogger to send the log through syslog.
# Using procmail to deliver messages to /var/spool/mail/$USER by
default.
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start '|preline procmail' splogger qmail
i suppose the fact that it's using procmail as a delivery agent might be
part of the problem.....
