[cobalt-users] RAQ2 SMTP VERY SLOW - Any IDEAS?

["Jim Scott" <jscott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not sure what to even check. When using any mail client and trying to
send an email to someone using the RAQ as the outgoing SMTP server it takes
about 30 - 45 seconds to send the message from the client to the email
server. When you hit send and receive you can see it is trying to send just
sits and sits and then at the last minute sends it real fast. If I use our
NT server to send with for outgoing it goes right away. I have added the IP
address to the server for allowing the IP range to relay with the server..
The DNS server it uses is very robust... Reverse DNS from the machine I am
sending from is setup properly.

Anyone have any ideas. I seen someone post the same question I am asking a
while back but never seen an answer on it. Is anyone else seeing this with
this server?

I am using a RAQ2 with all the latest software patches and POP before SMTP.
I have another RAQ2 that I just rebuilt didnt put any of the patches on it
or the POP before SMTP and it has the same results. Very slow sending email
from client to it.

Not sure what to look at.
