I have a NW 5 server with SP3 installed running on a 400 MHz Pentium II
with 256 Megs of RAM and mirrored 18 gig hard drives.

Mercury is taking a very long time to transfer mail.  When trying to
send mail via POP the SMTP connection is never less than 5 seconds, and
it's usually more like 7-10.  On the Netware 3.12 server that this new
server replaced, SMTP connections for small messages didn't even last
one second.

I have tried unloading every non-critical nlm, I changed the switch
parameters in the different sections of the config file to 0, 1 and 2
and commented them out.  It appears to be working properly just not as
quickly as it should be.

I would appreciate any help any could provide.

- Tom
