Speaking of which, Netwin may want to investigate and remove wl.trusted-forwarder.org from the recommended Surgemail settings as a whitelist. At least for me, it’s not responding to any of my DNS servers and was considerably slowing things down on Surgemail SMTP transactions until I removed it.

Also if you look at the output in

tellmail status | grep hits

 

Near the top is a section of response times from rbl's

 

sbl.spamhaus.org. 132 hits, 0.0sec

bl.spamcop.net. 899 hits, 0.1sec

bad.rbl.entry. 0 hits, 10.9 sec <---------------- (example)

dnsbl.sorbs.net 7734 hits, 0.2sec

list.dnswl.org 27847 hits, 0.0sec

 

Look for any with a response time of about 10 seconds, that's a sure sign of a dead rbl that should be removed!

Hi Norma,

 

I had this kind of a problem and it was always problem with ORBS server.

To fix the problem I removed problematic ORBS server from list of ORBS servers.

Search for ORBS server in mail.log with timeout.

Mostly the problem was solved a day after and then I entered that server on ORBS list.

 

I hope this will point you in good direction.

 

Regards,

DarkoBazulj
