New systems often lack reverse DNS, so sendmail will sit there for thirty seconds or more just waiting. Not sure about the minimum required, but giving the system's hostname in /etc/hosts helps. If you don't need sendmail, turn it off by adding sendmail_enable="NONE" in /etc/rc.conf. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
