This is probably because your sendmail is trying to reverse resolve the IP address of your friends. You can always add FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl If you do not like this, then try to see if the timeout you perceive changes by changing the "ident" timeout value. Set this by define(`confTO_IDENT', `5s')dnl Setting this to `0s', will make things much better if this is the problem. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public key: finger keramida@ceid.upatras.gr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
