Messages ~1000 per day, but that isn't the problem. The problem is that when a user hits 'send' the mail take _60_ seconds to get across the server. The mailer just sits there "sending... sending..." the whole time. The 60 seconds suggests a screwup in configuration on my part and a 60 second timeout somewhere, but I don't know what to check.
So, you have an internal client/server submission problem? This smacks like a dns resolution problem. All clients or only external/internal? Webmail or smtp client software? Firewall between client /server? What does the log say, starting from connect to? There are too many questions unanswered to give precise help. Here's a command line test: Check from client: "telnet ip.of.ser.ver 25" or "telnet name.of.ser.ver 25" (test both) - How log does it take, bevor the smtp banner appears? "ehlo client.full.name" - How long, bevor the Capabilities of the server are seen? "mail from:<sender@example.com>" - How long for the server to respond? "rcpt to:<recipient@another.example.com>" - How long for the server to respond? "data" - How long... Write some text lines here... [return] .
