folx,
no suggestions for this prob? i'd really appreciate any advice on further
troubleshooting.
i know that everyone who reads this list volunteers their time but its
pretty disappointing to see so much quick response about whether Outlook
is a decent MUA and so little suggestions on how to solve a concrete qmail
problem. ach well.

Subject: ~28s delay previously functioning
folx,
we've got two AIXen (4.2.1) running qmail (1.02, actually, i think,
although it might be 1.03) with only the ETRN patch installed to the best
of my recollection. it has been working like a charm for years,
obviously. recently one of the two boxes started demonstrating a delay of
about 28s before qmail-smtp would start up. like this:
# date; telnet localhost 25; date
Wed Sep 19 09:29:05 MDT 2001
Trying...
Connected to loopback.
Escape character is '^]'.
quit

this seems like a DNS problem to me, but i can't find one. the server is
puerco.nm.org (mx for nm.net, osogrande.com, osogrande.net, lists.nm.org
and a bunch of other stuff, too).
qmail-smtp is started out of /etc/rc.tcpip:
/usr/local/bin/supervise /var/run/tcpserversmtp /usr/local/bin/tcpserver
-v -R -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c50 -u1778 -g212 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd-log 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd &
resolv.conf is:
nameserver 129.121.254.1
nameserver 129.121.254.2
search nm.org nm.net technet.nm.org technet.nm.net
name server is bind on both boxen. the other, correctly functioning box
is cochiti.nm.org and it is identically configured (start of
qmail-smtp, contents of resolv.conf and os ver, etc.). cochiti.nm.org has
no problems or perceptable delay:
date; telnet cochiti.nm.org 25; date

qmail-send starts up immediately at command line on both.
i'd appreciate any suggestions on further troubleshooting this.
