* David Banning <david@www3.pacific-pages.com> [20001017 09:54]: =>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. I used to have a similar scenario with mutt but in my case I had both sendmail and Exim on the same machine. I had only configured exim to do smart_host delivery but I gathered that mutt was using sendmail instead - and I hadn't configured sendmail for smarthost delivery. So I moved the sendmail binary out of the way and made a symlink to exim and I was cured... admin:/usr/libexec/sendmail$ ls -al total 379 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 16 09:27 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 1536 Oct 15 16:43 .. lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 20 Oct 16 09:27 sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/exim -r-sr-xr-x 1 root wheel 376544 Oct 15 16:43 sendmail.old admin:/usr/libexec/sendmail$ I'm tempted to think that you need the rule # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSfoo.bar ...in your sendmail.cf so that it doesn't do a DNS lookup for the hosts to which you're sending mail. I'm hoping that your resolver is properly configured. If those two are not the cases than I'm sincerely sorry because I don't use sendmail as my MTA..I use Exim. I'm sure those sendmail guys out there will be able to help. -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Inter-Connect Ltd., wash@iconnect.co.ke 5th Flr Furaha Plaza Tel: 254 11 222604 Nkrumah Rd., Fax: 254 11 222636 PO Box 83613 MOMBASA, KENYA.
