Does your firewall block ident lookups? This is the cause of a lot of slow connection problems across firewalls as the program waits until the ident lookup fails before continuing. I think you can tell tcpserver to tun without lookups by adding the -R flag. Check out http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html for full options. If you're running qmail using tcpserver you may also get a similar timeout on SMTP connection.
