Delayed messages in SMTP connector

Hello:

I have been experiencing messages being delayed on my SMTP connector. My
SMTP connector is configured to send to 3 smart host. All 3 smart hosts are
working fine. After 5-30 minutes the messages finally make it to the smart
hosts. I am not sure why they are being delayed. I turned on some of the
diagnostic logging, but it didn't really show anything.

Does anyone have any idea how to trouble this?

I resolved my issue....

My gateway boxes were being over loaded by SPAM. I was able to determine
this by telneting to them on port 25 and I didn't get a helo response.
