qmail delay problem with recieving gmail

N

I have a vps running Ubuntu 10.04 with Plesk 10.1 (10.1.1-ubuntu10.04.build1010110120.18) with the installed qmail.

The server accepts emails fine from everyone except for gmail, which get delayed for 1hr +

The only log entry during this delay is;
Apr 2 00:01:47 vps4 /var/qmail/bin/relaylock[11627]: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from 209.85.210.175:63337 (mail-iy0-f175.google.com)

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks
John
 
Do you have enabled greylisting or any other spam filter?
 
Igor,

I had not selected greylisting, & I thought I to disabled it during testing.
What is the correct way to disable greylisting on the server?

Thanks
John
 
Try to disable it with /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/glmng (--help option for details)
And do not forget to rebuild mailsettings with mchk utiltity.
 
Done - same result.

Grey listing is disabled server wide, apparently.
root@vps4:~# /opt/psa/bin/grey_listing -i
Grey listing configuration.

Grey listing checking disabled

Thanks again,
John
 
/usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog should be investigated in such case.
 
That file is blank in Plesk 10.1, apparently, but /var/log/mail doesn't give me any clues either.

When the initial connection attempt is made - the log file only says relaylock

Apr 2 19:15:28 vps4 qmail-queue-handlers[28016]: recipient[3] = '[email protected]'

It looks like the server is dropping the initial connection attempt, but I have no idea as to why.

Thanks
John
 
I found solution

openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsclientciphers
openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsserverciphers
