Another problem we were having through a firewall was the use of identd.
By putting a -R (which turns of the identd part of tcpserver) in the
tcpserver line that started qmail-smtpd things speeded up quite a lot.
By the way, could anyone tell me how identd adds more security across a
network? I have read comments on dejanews that it has its own security
problems.
