(1) rfc1413_hosts and rfc1413_query_timeout (for ident calls). Firewalls sometimes block ident connections so that they time out, instead of refusing them immediately. This can cause this problem. See Q5023 for a discussion of the usefulness of ident.For what it's worth, I don't think this is your problem. The ident delay is about 10-20s by default (can't remember,) but certainly not five minutes.The troubling thing is that from this particular machine I can send to other machines fine -- just not to my box. I have disabled the ident calls (according to doco -- i should probably run a net monitor to see whats really going on here) yet the problem persists.. Will continue to look into this...
Is it configured to do reverse DNS checks on incoming connections?
