I have been running Courier 0.39.1 on Debian Linux as my mail server (SMTP(S), POP3(S), IMAP(S)) for about a year now without any noteworthy problems. Today, the SMTP server started to act up: it accepts TCP connections virtually immediately, but then reacts only very, very slowly. Thus, most of the time, the connection times out on the client/peer side. Other services (POP3, HTTP, ...) work as perfectly as ever.

I've the same problems since yesterday .. I can't send a mail via smtp auth for about 5 min or so, after that time it works again until the next 5 problem minutes.

I've tried to narrow the problem down.

during this 5 mins I get only this, after this I time I get the server greeting. I've tried it from 5 computers (everyone in a other subnet and other dns servers) always the same. on localhost it works always.

$ telnet outertech.com 25 Trying 194.242.45.189... Connected to outertech.com. Escape character is '^]'.

I've used dig -x client_ip during this time to check if the dns stuff works and yes that does.

I've following running, whichs is not the same as you've ?
