Thanks Theo for your fast answer.
I ran out of ideas. My postfix installation on a opensuse 10.0 isn't accepting connections anymore. Out of sudden!! I didn't change anything (last what I did was using the apt upgrades for apache and php the day before but there can't be any relation I guess). While port 25 is dead submission port 587 is working as expected. Log files are still growing since spammers were rejected (mail and mail.info). Either it's not accepting connections, and thus not rejecting them either, or it is accepting connections and maybe rejecting (because of something you've changed). It can't be both.
I telnet the server on port 25. Now the so called banner should be sent. But it isn't. So no chance to drop HELO. And after a while the connection will be closed.
Please send output of "postconf -n". When you restart Postfix and try to send a mail, what do you see in the log? Please post the log lines. This is problably a DNS timeout problem. Postfix is trying to resolve the client ip and checks the reverse dns as well. Without working dns you will run into many problems. -- Sandy List replies only please!
