not true .. a properly setup host will allow smtp sending, and controller spammer thruogh other means.

 

I have smtp wide open to the world, and have smtp-auth and pop-before-smtp setup so that spammers can't use me.

 

SMTP AUTH allows relaying for senders who have successfully authenticated themselves.

The pop-before-smtp project is a simple daemon written in Perl, to allow email relay control based on successful POP or IMAP logins

 

it's still relaying you've allowed it by login and so, it's not open to the whole world .

 

if email is sent by joe@blow.com not on your lan and uses your smtp server "smtp.relayaway.com"

and it's addressed to you@guessedit.com...... it's been relayed .

Relaying email will get you on a reject list

good luck getting me on a spam list ;)

 

I am supremely confident that I do not relay spam in anyway shape or form.

Hi

 

Now spent 24 hours working on this. I am sure its some kind of an auth delay, but 24 hours is enough time to spend on an issue that should never have existed in the first place.

 

In a last ditch attempt to find out whats going on, I reinstalled MDK 10.2 Download Ed, accepted all defaults. Same issue present. Even after having removed the stuff from xinitd.d/imap etc.

 

Can only conclude that its a (serious) bug in mandriva 10.2 . I say serious because it makes imap unusable.

 

Now... where's my windows CD...

I've used 10.2 with IMAP/POP3 with/without SSL/TLS and had no issues with speed. Both IMAP and POP3 were perfectly fine.

 

It might not even be these, but your network card, or other services, or something running that's causing the problem.

 

Post output from:

 

chkconfig --list

 

so we can see what services your running. Also post output from:

 

ifconfig -a

Tried it both without and with all the updates - same result.

 

SSH login is also very slow (30 sec delay after entering password)

 

Hardware is identical to my old MDK 9.1 hardware so unless they broke somet, that should not be the issue.

 

I'll setup the other nic and disable the current one just in case.

One thing worth trying if you've not already. Realtek cards can have unstabled network connections. If you disable apic, this usually sorts it out, or at least has done every time for me and others I've helped.

 

Go into System/Configuration/Configure Your Computer. Choose the Boot option, and then Boot Loader.

 

There are three options, ACPI is the top one, followed by APIC and Local APIC. Disable APIC and then reboot, and see if it's any better for you. If not, then go back in and disable Local APIC as well.
