When I used to send emails from my desktop email client (Thunderbird) it would be sent to the email (Postfix) server almost instantly. My desktop and server are on the same local LAN.
Now when I send an email there is a definite pause. When I click send, it sits at the screen saying: Status: Connected to mail.domain.com I actually timed it and it takes almost 10 seconds to send an email now to the server. Sending emails always used to be near instantaneous so I was wondering what would be causing this delay? Before someone mentions it, I don't scan my outgoing emails with Spamassassin (or anything else that I am aware of). In the beginning I did use SA for outgoing emails but disabled that feature. I know SA isn't the cause of the problem as I can't see any SA entries for scanning outgoing email so all is good there. I've gone through my master.cf and main.cf quite a few times and can't find what could be wrong. A few days ago sending email was near instantaneous so I'm not sure what has happened. Pinging the server gives great response times. Funny thing is, sending email from a mobile phone (from the internet) with K9 mail works perfectly. I also tried sending email from another machine on the LAN with Thunderbird and Opera Mail but they were slow too. Any ideas? -- View this message in context: http://postfix.1071664.n5.nabble.com/Slow-sending-of-email-tp65252.html Sent from the Postfix Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
