Question MAILX too much time to send email

Hello,
I am using heirloom-mailx on UBUNTU 11.04 to create a bash script that sends an e-mail with an attachment.
The command invoked is :
Code:
echo $BODY | mailx -v \
-S smtp=smtps://$smtpmailserver:465 \
-S from=$MITTENTE \
-S ssl-verify=ignore \
-S smtp-auth=login \
-S smtp-auth-user=$USER \
-S smtp-auth-password=$PASSWORD \
-s "$SUBJECT" \
-a $ATTACHMENT \
$RECIPIENT

The result is :
Code:
Resolving host xxxxxxxxxx . . . done.
Connecting to xxxxxxxxxx . . . connected.

Then I have to wait ONE MINUTE before it appears the following:

Code:
220 (mail-server) ESMTP ready
>>> EHLO svn
250-(mail-server)
250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 PLAIN LOGIN DIGEST-MD5 NTLM
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250-PIPELINING
250-ETRN
250-DSN
250 HELP
>>> AUTH LOGIN
334 (string)
>>> (string)
334 (string)
>>> (string)
235 2.0.0 Authentication successful
>>> MAIL FROM:<(sender)>
250 2.1.0 Sender <(sender)> ok
>>> RCPT TO:<(recipient)>
250 2.1.5 Recipient <(recipient)> ok (local)
>>> DATA
354 Enter mail, end with CRLF.CRLF
>>> .
250 2.0.0 (string) Message accepted for delivery
>>> QUIT
221 2.0.0 SMTP closing connection

Do you know why there is such a delay? How can I reduce the sending time?
It is not linked to the attached file, I have to wait also if it is not present.

Thanks in advance for any reply.
