DNS issues?  A bug in the access lists and/or the lookup routines?
Some stray bogon caused a bitfart in a router along the way,
corrupting a packet, hanging the connection, which was then was
zombied for the typical TCP timeout of around 60 seconds before the
server grasped the concept, shotgunned the zombie, and requeued the
email with a five minute delay?  Or did you say this is a regular
occurance?
