I use Mandriva with postfix . The time started from connected until authentication is very long. How can I shorter the time? thanks
Anything in the mail log under /var/log? What do you see when you run Code: telnet localhost 25 and then issue Code: ehlo localhost ?
[root@www ~]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to www.domain1.com (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. 220 www.domain1.com ESMTP Postfix (2.1.5) (Mandrakelinux) ehlo localhost 250-www.thaismartstat.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN 250 8BITMIME
I don't think this is an Outlook (Express) issue... although using Thunderbird or alike surely wouldn't hurt.... Check if your Postfix is doing DNS reverse lookup or IDENT lookups on hostnames it cannot resolve. This may introduce delays of 30 secs or so from what I have seen Regards, ~jm
