Sounds like DNS to me. Even if sendmail is configured to accept

What does:
nslookup `hostname`
return? I'm not sure if sendmail uses /etc/hosts but try adding the
output of hostname to /etc/hosts on the same line as "127.0.0.1
localhost localhost.localdomain"

Thanks so much for your reply - I do actually have my hostname in
/etc/hosts - the wierd thing to me is that (I should have mentioned
in my previous post) I was getting no such delay on FC3-32 on the
same hardware - but with FC3-x86_64 the delay is present.
Did you run the command? What was the output?
Hi Jay,
(thankyou very much for taking an interest in my issue - if however you
would prefer me to not reply to your personal email also please tell me
- I will absolutely respect that - Grant)
The output of nslookup `hostname` is the exepected hostname and IP
address (obfuscated here for reasons of commercial paranoia)
[root@sv6 mail]# nslookup `hostname `
Server: 195.40.1.250
Address: 195.40.1.250#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: server.firebox.com
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I've added the name to the loopback line in /etc/hosts, but no luck so far.
