Connecting to smtp.macosx.com taking a LONG time...why?

Hi. I have a macosx.com account. I'm running OS X 10.4.3 and Apple Mail program. When I 'get' email, Mail connects to mail.macosx.com immediately and downloads my mail.

However, every time I send email, the activity window in Mail says "Connecting to smtp.macosx.com" for a LONG time (up to a minute) before it actually connects and sends the mail.

I never used to have this problem with smtp.macosx.com.

What could be causing this long delay connecting to smtp.macosx.com?

Thanks for your help.

David
