Suggest you telnet to your server on port 25 and create a message in
SMTP and watch the results (an alternative - probably better way - is to
run "exim -d -bh ip-address-you-would-connect-from" when you will see
additional information on whats happening).
* If there is an initial delay then you are probably suffering
from either DNS problems (exim trying to do reverse lookups
which fail) or there is a RFC1413 ident lookup being done which
is stalling
* Delays at RCPT TO stage normally point to verification problems
- again either DNS timeouts, or callout problems (if you do
those)
* A delay after the . at the end of DATA is down to your content
scanning setup. Debug should hopefully give an indication of
what was going slowly.
Thats the most likely problems - however there are other less likely
possibilities.
