I have sendmail 8.9.3 running on 3.5 S. Lately (month or so), sending mail via that server is pretty slow (the initial connection). The problem is that the initial connection takes 7-10 seconds before connecting (sendmail actually accepting the mail), then everything hums along fine (once the connection is acknowledged, it zips along nicely). More Details: -This machine typically has a load of < .10 (single processor) -top shows it sitting idle mostly -sendmail.cf is mostly a stock variety (out of the box) - only additions are procmail, pop before smtp(sourceforge), and rbl(ordb) -if I telnet to port 25, sockstat on the machine shows the existing connection as the remote telnet waits the 7-10 seconds (so it appears not to be a network delay) -I can ssh just fine with no delay (so it's likely not a DNS issue?) -traceroutes to the box consistently show less than ~110 ms (it get that slow when i hit qwest - not to slam them) -I have flushed the queue and HUP'd it with no change in performance I am cornfused and seek enlightenment. I appreciate any suggestions. TIA, Mike Dickerson Officeonweb.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
