I appreciate the quick response to my last question. Now I've got another one.

Why is my mailserver trying to open a connection back to port 113 whenever I make an SMTP connection? I am not using any authentication. This is causing the SMTP connection to take about 30 seconds since my firewall is denying the connection to 113. Is there a setting that I may have turned on by accident?

Thanks, Bowie

do a 'cat /etc/services | grep 113' You will see that port 113 is an identd lookup. The system is pausing for 30 seconds trying to do this lookup.

I thought reverse-dns lookups were done on port 53, but I could be wrong.

Well, it's a starting place.
