i am using a system written in python to send emails out through our new iRedMail server.
This is a fresh install.
Connecting to this server is fast (less than a second on our LAN) but it is taking about 2 seconds / email to send them out.

I am wondering if i have successfully disabled our spam filtering. i stopped the amavis service.

I don't know what should be taking these so long to process. My computer hardware is not working hard at all.

this is the postconf -n

Re: connecting to email server is fast, sending emails is slow

Ok, i have done these, but it is still taking a few seconds per message to pipe these through.
Could there be something else causing the hold up?

in the mail.log i am seeing delays like this: delays=2.3/0/0/0.04
this means most of the time is spent before it gets queued, right?

thanks for the help
