DNS is much more involved than just for the SMTP server name and IP you
are calling from your client! I did mean DNS more generally: so DNS
comes to play when the target MX host is to be found for the message
recipient. For incoming mail other DNS queries are processed.

A 10 seconds delay can indicate either a non working or blocked identd
request or a non working reverse DNS check.
