Exim mail server slow on sending through SMTP
- by catalint
It takes about 30 seconds for the server to send me the banner, but initial connection is done instantly
only happens when I am at the office, from home it works fine
at the office I have a rRns set-up for my client ip that it's not working.
Server: Exim, public fixed ip, rDNS, no ports blocked, in a datacenter
Config:
hostlist loopback = <; 127.0.0.0/8 ; 0.0.0.0 ; ::1 ; 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:7f00:0000/8
hostlist senderverifybypass_hosts = net-iplsearch;/etc/senderverifybypasshosts
hostlist skipsmtpcheck_hosts = net-iplsearch;/etc/skipsmtpcheckhosts
hostlist spammeripblocks = net-iplsearch;/etc/spammeripblocks
hostlist backupmx_hosts = lsearch;/etc/backupmxhosts
hostlist trustedmailhosts = lsearch;/etc/trustedmailhosts
domainlist user_domains = ${if exists{/etc/userdomains} {lsearch;/etc/userdomains} fail}
This happens super fast on the server:
30132 ident connection to 89.238.207.49 failed: Connection refused
30132 sender_fullhost = [89.238.207.49]

--- Initial info
I've setup an email account on "Windows Live Mail" that comes with Windows 7
Receiving is super fast, but for some reason sending is very slow, I had to increase the outgoing timeout to 3 minutes in order to make it work.
Server software is Exim / Dovecot / cPanel.
Do you have any ideeas why there is a slow sending process?
Thank you!
