nice observation!

is there a way i can speed it up on my side? my config is almost vanilla.

We have fast enough connectivity and the server dont seem like its taking a
hit.

Thanks,
Hiep Nguyen

Because the timeout is happening on THEIR side.

Note that it looks like your server is trying to do auth/ident (RFC
1413) callbacks:

$ date; echo quit | nc sp1.varsityspirit.com 25; date
Tue Sep 30 19:44:51 SAST 2003
220 sp1.varsityspirit.com ESMTP Exim 4.14 Tue, 30 Sep 2003 13:14:24 -0500
221 sp1.varsityspirit.com closing connection
Tue Sep 30 19:45:22 SAST 2003

It takes 30 seconds for the SMTP banner to be presented. I've had over
a minute's delay from your server, though.

Now, if the server on THEIR side isn't prepared to wait long enough (low
timeout), then you're going to have a problem.

Why do I suspect a low timeout? Because their server said it gave up
after a day. So they've probably been fiddling with timeout and retry
values.
