Thanks, Brian,
No, that does not seem to be the problem. The dns reverse lookup
generally takes 1-2 seconds. But when I try to connect to esmtp,
the client sits at "connecting to server" for at least 1 minute.
I had dupfilter on. But now disabled it and stopped courierfilter as
well. But it is still slow.
It's probably the identd lookup stalling. ESMTP connections have
the server issue an identd query on the sender.
Oh oh. My email server is behind a firewall that does not have port 113/tcp
open.
Is there any way (or any disadvantage) to disable this feature?
Thanks.

Go and ask Microsoft to fix their TCP/IP stack.
Will do.
