Qmai-SMTPD , Delayed welcome message if not connected with internet

Hi all,
I have qmail-toaster RPMS installed on REDHAT 9. and it is
working fine as long as i am connected with the internet. But when i
am ofline and i try to use any mail client or use telnet to connect
with the localhost:25 it takes up to 2 to 3 minutest for getting the
welcome message from qmail-smtpd.
I know it is a faq but i had used all the possible options like
tcpserver -R -P -H etc. but useless.

I beleive it is the problem of my local DNS. because when i am
connected with internet, it works fine.

I had a properly configured local DNS. and it workis fine with dig -x
127.0.0.1
and dig localhost.

Please help me if is it possible to use a local dns server (127.0.0.1)
with qmail.

Thanks in advance.

Faisal

Well i found the solution, and i wish to post it here, because have
seen many people have posted same questions and no answer.

Actually qmail-toaster is in default configured to run with rblsmtpd.
Which tries to query some antispam servers to get block lists. so when
pc is not online it halts the qmail respond until dns query timesout.
I had just removed the rblsmtpd parameter for tcpserver from the boot
script.

Simple. Hunh

:)
