hi

we have two different type of installations of qmail toaster on two different 
machines

m/c 1
redhat enterprise 3
qmailtoaster without using db for vpopmail

m/c 2
fedora 4
qmailtoaster using mysql mysql 5 db for vpopmail

both m/c are enabled in the same way with smtp authentication and checks for 
virus / spam before sending emails by domains hosted on the servers

we find that in m/c 2 while using outlook express there are three stages
1) connecting
2) authorizing
3) sending message -- slow

the speed of smtp sessions for the first two stages are similar in both 
machines but in the third stage the m/c 2 takes around 7 seconds where as the 
m/c 1 sends the message instantly.

this delay gets troublesome for clients who use mail exchangers for a large no 
of email ids.

any idea what the reason could be ?
Are the two machines physically similar? m/c2 isn't a 486 or anything, right? I'd also check DNS resolution. If they're using different DNS servers, you might make sure that m/c2 isn't getting a slow answer there.
