Reply-To: david@banning.com Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG when I send a message using mutt, and then send it, it displays the Sending message... at the bottom of the screen - which it should - it stays there for a long time 5 - 30 min or more before sending though. ps ax | grep send shows sendmail: accepting connections on port 25 (sendmail) sendmail -oem -oi -- php-general@lists.php.net I know my mail server has to be authenticated before mail can be sent - which I do at the same time with a POP. My crontab does a POP at the top of every hour. I think it also takes just as long when I use the simple mail program - it's just mail exits after I send, while mutt holds the screen hostage until the mail has been sent. Any ideas how to solve this? Maybe it only sends after crontab does a POP? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
