Ok, I tried it myself, and here's what I found.
RCPT TO: postmaster@??? gets accepted immediately without doing a sender
verify at all.
All other combinations result in a sender verify which fails after a 30
second timeout.
When I telnet to my own address, I get the 220 greeting immediately. When
they try the sender verify, I give them at least a 30 second delay, and they
close and fail the verify.
Looks like I need to find out where that delay is coming from on my side.
