DNS slowing down 220?

-----Original Message-----
Is there a way to stop DNS lookups to test this? everything in the
resolv.conf is a valid dns server...

Could be that you haven't implemented a caching DNS server and whoever
you have in /etc/resolv.conf is not answering right away. When someone
connects to your MTA it's probably going to try and resolve the name of
the IP address connecting to it, hence the delay.
