Re: (ASCEND) Slow e-mail send when using NAT on P75
Both good suggestions, but as far as I know, Windows/Mac boxes don't have
an auth/ident server monitoring port 113, so it would time out anyway,
even if you were doing straight IP routing...
The reason I say this is that we had many customers complaining about slow
response times to send e-mail and when we turned this feature off in
Sendmail everything was back to its normal, speedy self.
If it were a reverse-lookup problem you would get some sort of error from
the SMTP server about that, rather than a timeout.
