OK, here is a strange one.  Using

the stock sendmail in FreeBSD STABLE, I am seeing strange timeouts to some 
hosts. e.g. mail to ica.net via icamail.ica.net. Its defiantly listening, 
but a stock sendmail on FreeBSD immediately gives. The transaction below

mail -v postmaster@ica.net
Subject: test ignore

EOT
postmaster@ica.net... Connecting to icamail.ica.net. via esmtp...
postmaster@ica.net... Connecting to mail6.ica.net. via esmtp...
postmaster@ica.net... Deferred: Operation timed out with mail6.ica.net.

takes about 1 second

Yet,
smtp1# telnet icamail.ica.net smtp
Trying 209.151.129.144...
Connected to icamail.ica.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ica.net  VOPmail ESMTP Receiver Version 5.0.193.0 Ready



If I grab the sources from ftp.sendmail.org and ./Build install it works as 
expected.  Does anyone know whats special about the generic FreeBSD version 
that would cause this ?
