I've got a fresh postfix port installed minimally in a FreeBSD 7.1
jail. Seems to be working, however I noticed a long delay in
establishing an initial connection. In testing, I might wait 5-10
seconds before postfix responds to a request for a connection over
port 25.
Once I've connected, I get immediate responses from then on...unless I
wait an hour or so, then it's the same problem. Almost like postfix is
taking a nap. I've combed through the documentation and googled
everything I can think of but am not finding any configuration
settings that address this issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure you have proper dns resolution in your jail. Can you
resolve the name/ip of the ip your connecting from, from inside your
jail? Can you resolve the name/ip of your mail server from inside the
jail?
Perhaps your maillog has some more info?
