Guys, I asked this problem before but did not get a solution.
Basically, I am running a home POP server and when I access this POP server remotely, it takes some 20secs before POP starts to transfer mail (internally it is immediate). If I telnet to the POP port directly, I see that indeed the following occurs: > telnet <my_machine> pop Trying www.xxx.yyy.zzz... Connected to <my_machine>. Escape character is '^]'. +OK POP3 panda v2001.78rh server ready And it takes a good 20s before the +OK POP3 ... line is displayed. It is not latency on the link - telnet/ssh is immediate. I though it might be because of the auth/ident protocol so I check I can access this remotely, which I can. So I am at a bit of a loss to explain why this problem persists. Anyone else seeing this problem too (machine is a RH7.0 box) ? Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
