I had a similar problem however my resolve to it was to take an *OLD* 286 I
had laying around install a fairly bare installation of Linux on it and
installed the DNS service. Then I put that online behind my firewall and
added it's IP for port 53 to my NAT/Firewall and assigned it as the primary
DNS server for my qmail machine. That resolved everything... However I don't
know how many of ya out there have old 286 machines just laying around but
you can use any machine you want you can even install bind on the qmail
machine itself the only reason I didn't was I did not want the load of the
DNS service on that machine.
Cheers,

Subject: Netgear RP114 Router doesn't work well with Qmail POP daemon?
I recently have a user reported me the following:
I recently installed a Netgear RP114 Router, to provide multiple computers
access to the internet via a single cable modem from ATT. Since then, my
Eudora email program encounters some sort of 30 second delay when
attempting to retrieve email from any of my awit.com accounts. The
"status" display of the process shows "Logging into POP server" for
upwards
of 30 seconds, before continuing. Once it actually starts downloading
email, it proceeds as quickly as it always has.
None of the other five email POPs I deal with have this problem. Do you
know of anything that I can try to improve this performance?
I first asked him where these five POP boxes are hosted, and then I telneted
to port 110 of these five places, and got the following info:
popd.accesscom.com QPOP (version 2.3)
pop.vitac.com DPOP Version 2.4a
venus.he.net QPOP (version 3.1.2)
holzheimers.com POP3 holzheimers.com v4.47 server
cihost.com POP3 localhost v4.47 server
I then asked him to use telnet to port 110 to our POP server, and he
still got the delay. So, I am quite sure it's most likely caused by
the Netgear RP114, although I don't see any reason why this is so.
The following is from the init script of our POP server. The -R is
used to turn off identd, a typical cause of delay. But he got the
delay with the Eudora client and with the command line telnet client
regardless.
tcpserver \
-v -R -x $RULESDIR/pop3.cdb \
0 pop3 qmail-popup $HOSTNAME \
$checkpassword qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 \
| $setuidgid qmaill $tai64n 2>&1 \
| $setuidgid qmaill $tai64nlocal \
| $setuidgid qmaill $multilog s${LOGSIZE} n${LOGNUM} \
/var/log/pop3d &
I am quite puzzled at this moment. We don't have a Netgear RP114 router
handy, so I wonder whether anyone has experienced this and has insight
into why this symptom is there. Any hints/tips are appreciated.
We use qmail 1.03.
