Sorry for my english

Hi,

there is no need to be sorry for speaking a foreign language
Could you describe the type of E-Mail you're sending? Are there any attachements?

Greetings

I just put 2 or 3 words into the mail and I send it to my gmail mailbox , without any attachements .
At the end of the page it's says "waiting for 'IP address of my server' " and it's that which seems to take time

Thanks for the information,

are there any error message at the log files of the mail server? /var/log/mail.*

Greetings

Hmm

your logs seems to be ok. The message is delivered to smtp.free.fr[212.27.48.4]:25
and from the first entry to the last 41 seconds (Jul 8 12:06:07 to Jul 8 12:06:48). But from the point of

Jul 8 12:06:07 mail postfix/smtpd[4625]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1]
Jul 8 12:06:47 mail postfix/smtpd[4625]: 7FE23134A387: client=localhost[127.0.0.1]

It takes 40 sec and the rest is done within 1 sec..... I think you mean these seconds of waiting between connect and accept...

So to my opinion "waiting for 'IP address of my server' " has something todo with the nameserver. My guess is that name to ip-address takes so long, because (real rough guess) your first nameserver is down/out-of-order and now it is waiting for the timeout to take the next one in the list. This one gives a IP resolution and then it works. So check /etc/resolve and the result of

nslookup smtp.free.fr
