/var/qmail/control/blacklists could be the difference then. Are these files
the same on both machines?

That's to be expected. qmail-send passes the message off to qmail-local
instead of qmail-remote. Sounds like qmail-remote is where the sluggishness
is. This doesn't make sense though, as the smtp session of the sender (MSA
session) is complete by that point.

This is sounding more like a DNS problem. I'm guessing now that it's slow
looking up MX records of recipient domains.
Is there a DNS cache working on each machine?
What's in the /etc/resolv.conf in both?

TTBOMK, that's the way the toaster presently operates. When a client
authenticates, RELAYCLIENT is set (which I'm guessing tells simscan not to
scan for spam?). You should see this reflected in the smtp log.
It'd be good to have your clients use port 587 for submission if that's
feasible.
