I have a mailserver running on that machine for personal mail, and as the outgoing smtp server for my home network. Everything works as it should, except that connecting to the server is very slow. It does answer eventually, and once it answers it's snappy enough, but it's very slow (around 5 seconds) to answer. At first I thought that was related to not having updated my sendmail.cf, but I finally got around to doing that last night and it did not improve things. Any suggestions here would be welcome, OTHER than a suggestion to use a different mailer. I do have that on my list to try something else (probably postfix) soon, but it's not practical to change it right now.
