Subject: Re: Our old problem with smtp - takes very long time

   After trying a lot with dns and different postfix snapshots, we still
   have the same problem. When a client sends an email to our unixware
   server, it takes sometimes about one or two minutes until the smtp
   server responds to the request.

I would run `strace' (or whatever the similar utility is called on Unixware)
on the smtpd process (or master process) and watch it running the SMTP
conversation. These tools help you quickly diagnose such problems.
