Qmail is tryig resolve hostnames. This is where your delay is. Add the -R
switch when tcpserver executes. The following blurb is from
http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html:
-R: Do not attempt to obtain $TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host. To avoid
loops, you must use this option for servers on TCP ports 53 and 113.
