Timeout error while signup new user in Drupal 6

Error:
           No response from the server side and time out error comes after 3 to 5 min after submitting the signup form in Drupal 6. But the user were created correctly without the response.


Reason:  
           I have configured Postfix and Stunnel4 in my system (Redhat) for mailing purpose. But the host name was not configured correctly. So that the Drupal script waits long time for the response from the Postfix server. This was caused the timeout error.


Solution:
          Check and make sure the '/etc/hosts' and Postfix server configuration file (normally in /etc/postfix) for valid host name or IP of your server.  Default configuration of Postfix doesn't make any problem. If you have changed anything in '/etc/hosts' file or or Postfix config file will make errors like this.
