Re: [vchkpw] Re: SMTP Slowness
You haven't set the -H flag, so by default it's trying to look up the remote hostname in DNS for $TCPREMOTEHOST This may take a long time if reverse DNS isn't set up properly for the host connecting.

RE: [vchkpw] Re: SMTP Slowness
I know you don't think that this is a DNS problem. I suggest that you go over your DNS with a fine tooth comb and if you don't see anything wrong with it... Get a second opinion. We had this same problem and it turned out to be the reverse DNS lookup entries that were incorrect. The IP numbers were wrong. They were set for the old IP address range for the private network so the numbers were real close and we just plain ol' missed it. Troy E Bouchard Network Support MtIda.net

RE: [vchkpw] Re: SMTP Slowness
I just tested it again and timed it. 10 seconds until I get the banner from the time I connect and issue the EHLO command. That's unacceptable, it should be nearly instant. It's not like this is a slow box or anything (dual xeon box, it's got some ummph). Any ideas as to why the long delay? Also, you wanted me to run the command "ps auxwww |grep '[t]cpserver .*qmail-smtpd'": vpopmail 3628 0.0 0.1 2104 1328 ?S07:48 0:00 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l rhost1.zfx.com -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 50 -u 89 -g 89 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd rhost1.zfx.com /var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true Thanks, Chris Miller Compuville www.compuville.net -Original Message- From: Peter Palmreuther [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 2:55 PM To: Chris Miller in vpop Subject: [vchkpw] Re: SMTP Slowness Hello Chris, On Monday, April 26, 2004 at 3:42:40 PM you wrote (at least in part): > Now I've got another problem with SMTP.
