What the person who mentioned that it may be DNS related is refering to is
that the filter may be blocking access to DNS (port 53) to one or more of
the nameserverss that the user has configured to handle DNS. Maybe, it
can only get to its secondary or tertiary DNS server via your filters and
the primary is blocked, thus causing a delay on nameserver lookups. You
may also want to see if you are allowing access to auth (identd) requests
as a few mail clients use that as well. I don't see the delays you do,
but then again I allow DNS queries to anywhere and auth requests to the
mail server as well.
