Mail delivery is very slow

Hello ML users,
setup :
RG 9.0 postfix, mailscanner, spamassassin
it's a SMPT gateway (no local user)
I'm using the transport file (postfix) to route mail to Exchange
with :
netgroupes.ca           smtp:[192.168.168.5]
This server is the first MX of the domain

The delivery is very slow.
Here is a example :
Nov 21 14:38:47 thor postfix/smtpd[6774]: connect from unknown[207.245.51.50]

As you can see,
it took 2 min between the last to line.

CPU and mem are very low so it does not seems to be a perf issue.

I double check the mailscanner+postfix installation and everything is
"by the book".

Some advice ?

Thanks !!!
