Mailscanner + sendmail running really slow.

[Rob Poe]

Usually I've seen DNS sluggishness when first connecting, but then everything is ok.  His box is sluggish on EVERY command.  I.E. not only the connect, but when you type 

helo domain.com

or the mail from: rcpt to: commands .. slow on each of them.  

takes the data pretty quickly after that..

Sounds like a DNS error, which I've experienced in the past. Explore 
this avenue first, as the problem should show up pretty quickly and 
usually an easy fix.
