Subject:Re: [courier-users] SMTP connections very slow/timing outActions...

Gordon Messmer scribbled something like:

Because of this slow response, I have simply set all my mailboxes to use my ISP's smtp server for outgoing email as it is instant when I hit "Send Mail Now". Wish ours was that fast, and maybe what Josh wrote, is also the problem I am seeing with our courier setup?

You should probably edit the esmtpd file and disable tcp and ident lookups before looking for problems with other settings.

I changed the default: TCPDOPTS="-stderrlogger=/usr/sbin/courierlogger"

To: TCPDOPTS="-nodnslookup -noidentlookup -stderrlogger=/usr/sbin/courierlogger"

And it appears to be much quicker to send email through the server now. Although I am not sure I like that solution, as it reduces functionality of esmtpd. Decisions decisions...
