Hi List,
Quite often when I try to send mail from either PHP or mutt (and
probably other processes too), it takes Sendmail some multiple of 5
seconds to accept the email and let the calling process get on with
things, i.e. 30, 35, 45, 55 seconds to accept the mail.
My system is based around FC3-minimal on a dual opteron 244 box
I'm using the stock sendmail.mc file except that I have
dnlFEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
and
dnlDAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
Commented. I initially thought this might be a greet_pause type thing,
but it's not actually implemented.
Sounds like DNS to me. Even if sendmail is configured to accept
unresolvable domains, it's going to sit there a long time waiting. 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"
