I am trying to validate my new email server, and I'm finding that it's
taking about 6 seconds to respond and 8 second to process an email.
The server is lightly loaded so there's something that is causing this
delay. AFAIK I have no issues with DNS. I am using dspam+spamassassin,
so that could be the cause of the delay, but this is on a quad-core
server, ssd drives, and load of typically around 1% so it should be much
faster. At a guess there's some lookup that's taking that long.
Any way to tell where the delay is coming from?
Here's a typical transaction - note the time stamps. 10 seconds from
start to finish.
