I posted this under 6.x since that is the version i am using but figured this might not be version specific so posted it here also to see if anyone else has seen this problem.
My problem is that it is taking just under 4 minutes for the sme server to respond on port 25. I have tested with telnet and have also increased my timeout on mail client to allow me to send emails. I have spent all morning searching forums for similar problems but nothing is working. Disabling spamassassin and antivirus doesn't change anything so I turned them back on. I took over this position and have never used this sme server program so have no idea where to begin to problem solve this.
Any help would be appreciated. I have 30+ users waiting for me to fix this issue.
