I've been battling with this one for almost a few weeks now with no good outcome at all. Maby one of you guys can point out the problem. When I do this: # telnet 127.0.0.1 25 It takes around 30 seconds to connect to the local exim mail server. Actualy.. it takes long from anywhere. I thought the problem was that reverse DNS was not setup (correctly). I checked the DNS and it looks perfect. (This box has the exact setting of another box that is currently working) I have gone through all the ip's and checked the reverses just to make sure and all seems ok. /etc/resolve is set to localhost and 127.0.0.1 I've got 127.0.0.1 as localhost in the file /etc/hosts. Another thing: if I plug out all the network cables and reboot so that the box isn't connected to anything then "telnet 127.0.0.1 25" works perfectly. Why ? :( Did I maby forget to check something small ? Hope someone can help me.
