My wife is complaining that we don't get email from Netflix anymore but I'm 
wondering what else we're missing. Check out this smtp log:

mx-ecom.netflix.com[208.75.76.252]

The first delay after connect is 31 seconds, the second is 61 seconds. I am on 
Mac OS X Server 10.6.7. Server is working very well, Kerberos and other fragile 
services working perfectly. No DNS issues. Install is fairly new, we struggled 
a lot in the last year but bit the bullet and re-installed about a month ago 
with much better guidance (Lynda.com) and things have been great ever since.

I've looked at bunch of possibilities. Load on the server is minimal. Hard 
drive is a G-RAID stripe configuration for speed. I disabled virus scanning and 
no change. Now I've even got spam checking off and still no joy. I connected 
via telnet and got a response instantly.

If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.

Perhaps instead of randomly turning things off is there a way to find out more 
about what may be going on inbetween the gaps in the log? I have the log level 
set to DEBUG which is the highest setting in the Mac OS X Server config utility.

Best Regards,

Read the whole document, but this is the section you're looking for.
