[cobalt-users] SMTP is running REALLLY slow...

[Jason Hough <jason@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys... need some help. When people here at the office try to send 
email, it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes before the 
*connects* to the SMTP server.
POP works fine, nice and fast.
I've added entries for the Queb3 into our hosts file, and everyone can ping 
it fine. It appears to be only SMTP thats running at a snails pace. It 
doesnt seem to matter if the mail being sent is internal or external. The 
problem is just connecting to the server, once connected the mail rips 
through pretty fast.

Top doesnt show anything taking up more than 1 percent of CPU.
Top does report that of the 296mb of RAM, only 4 megs is free??? How could 
that be, it's hardly running anything? Any way I can find out specifically 
where all the memory is going?

Mem:   290116K av,  286004K used,    4112K free,   24208K shrd,  215340K buff

Mailq is empty.

I'm out of ideas... :) Please help if you can...

Jason
