Hi,

Excellent! It did work. My qmail has been working until recently port 25
gets very slow in sending out emails.

Thanks

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Slowness in smtp

Hi,

It seems that if i use port 587 it does not have the slowness issue..

[r...@cp root]# time telnet mail.popular.com.sg  25

Could it still be DNS issue since the slowness does not show up in port 587?

Thanks

Hi,

I tried the following on the mail server itself and i got the reply
immediately.

[r...@mail init.d]# nslookup 122.175.72.62
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address:127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
62.72.175.122.in-addr.arpa  name =
Telemedia-AP-dynamic-062.72.175.122.airtelbroadband.in.

Authoritative answers can be found from:

It seems that i have djbdns install rather than BIND for my qmailtoaster.
Can i check how can i configure the forwarders on my caching server? The
mail server setup is by default according to the Qmailtoaster installation
guide.

Thanks
YongSan

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Slowness in smtp

Hi,

Here is my resolv.conf :

search mail.popular.com.sg
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 165.21.83.88
nameserver 165.21.100.88

The slowness occurs on the time that the message took to leave Outlook
outbound queue. If we do a email dossier check at centralops.net, it always
get timeout while connecting to our mail server. One of the domain i have in
this mail server is mail.popular.com.sg

Please advise.
