Hi. I don't know who the FAQ maintainer is (Sam? someone else?), but I have a couple more entries for the FAQ.

Thanks to Mr. Sam for this one. I think it belongs in the ESMTP section, but feel free to correct me.

-------------- Q. Why are my e-mails taking so long to send?

If the delay is mostly in the initial connection, check for: - A dead DNS server listed in /etc/resolv.conf - That reverse DNS works on the connecting IP addresses - A misbehaving firewall that's dropping identd packets

Should you decide that you want to turn off the reverse DNS or identd checks, using the following in the esmtpd configuration file:

TCPDOPTS="-nodnslookup -noidentlookup"

--------------

Towards the end of the section on Sendmail-style virtual domains, you might want to add the following:

-------------- To do something along the lines of the sendmail hosting @domain.com: user@example.com

You will need to set the alias to: @domain.com: user

And then set up a /home/user/.courier-default file containing us...@example.com

--------------

Also, might it not be useful to put the two questions on virtual hosting together? I only noticed the second one now, and would have assumed that I had Read The Fine Manual without noticing the second if I had had a question.

Thanks all,
