You may want to set up a "caching" Domain Name Server on your SMTP machine
if you don't have one already. This was of help to us to eliminate latency.

Subject: Can I speed up dialog with SMTP on AIX?


It appears that listserv sends 100 addresses over to smtp and then waits a
while. Here are two adjacent log entries:

14 Dec 1999 15:47:42 Mail posted via SMTP to [log in to unmask]
14 Dec 1999 15:48:04 Mail posted via SMTP to [log in to unmask]

Can I speed this up at all?  It looks like waits anywhere from 5 to 30
seconds between batches.  I'm sure that is dependent on the mix of
addresses, but I seems like a waste of time and I think is contributing to
my backlog.
