You didn't tell us what method you are using to run qpsmtpd (e.g. tcpserver,
forkserver, Apache, pre-fork, aldus lamp). If the client is timing out before
you can send a banner, I wonder if your server is thrashing itself to death.
You can't just up the limits willy-nilly, and expect everything to continue
working. If you were running the trunk code, which is the former
high-performance branch, it might be a different story.
The other thing to check is, if you are using tcpserver, you aren't trying to
resolve the IP address of the boxes that are connecting. If you have a poorly
configured DNS (like M$loth's), it might take forever to time out. You should
always call tcpserver in this instance like:
tcpserver -H -l localhost ...
which won't do any lookups...
