NDUKU: are you allowing incoming 'ident' to your mail server? if not, this may slow down your email significantly. try adding a rule SOURCE DEST SERVICE Action Any Exchamge_server ident pass if you don't want to allow ident, then at least put a rule saying SOURCE DEST SERVICE Action Any Exchamge_server ident reject (note that it's reject and not drop; that way an icmp error message gets sent out to the peer mail server and it doesn't wait forever for a timeout) Hope this helps, Avishai --- NDUKU MUNYARADZI <[email protected]> wrote: > Hie All > Iam experiencing a serious delay in my outgoing mail to the ISP such > that my > que of outbound messages on my exchange server is getting fairly > large.
