Whan I use the -v options to sendmail root@stone:~# echo blah | sendmail -v flo@nigsch.com flo@nigsch.com... Connecting to localhost via relay... ...and then it hangs for the mentioned ca. 75sec. Apr 7 14:18:41 stone sendmail[311]: g37CHQ5Y000311: to=flo@nigsch.com, ctladdr=flo (1000/1000), delay=00:01:15, xdelay=00:01:15, mailer=relay, pri=30005, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (g37CIfnY000316 Message accepted for delivery) After the mail makes it into the local mailqueue it is instantly delivered over the network to it's destination: Apr 7 14:18:42 stone sm-mta[318]: g37CIfnY000316: to=<flo@nigsch.com>, ctladdr=<flo@stone.nigsch.com> (1000/1000), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=30301, relay=mail.nigsch.com. [194.208.143.121], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (g37CIgWD074873 Message accepted for delivery) But why the delay? And, perhaps a question with a not to difficult answer: As of the logs, a process named "sendmail" receives the mail locally, and a process of name "sm-mta" delivers takes care of it's delivery. Why isn't it both times "sendmail"? Hmm... Is /etc/mail/sendmail.cf used for both these processes? Until now, I don't quite understand the function of submit.cf. regards, flo -- --- Florian Nigsch <flo@nigsch.com> http://flo.nigsch.com/ PGP key: http://flo.nigsch.com/fnigsch.asc [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8sDq+FB5yp9/3jW0RAgwwAJ47o1wm8WcU1PShDtbEnQMFyyrhAQCcCKqa gXO+wjFdfxkI5m9aBNaP88I= =gN+j -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
