This sort of timeouts is usually due to nameresolution problems, either it's own name or other names, and Sendmail relies heavily on it. As I recall RedHat is known for not putting a proper entry for it's own name in /etc/hosts, so check this. Also check the output of the 'hostname' command. Then check that the entries in /etc/resolv.conf point to the right dns-servers, either your internal dns-server(s) or your isp's.
Hi All,
/etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
/etc/resolv.conf ; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script search BigPond nameserver 10.0.0.138
[ozboy@home-hehbbzsuy7 sysconfig]$ hostname home-hehbbzsuy7
The /etc/resolv.conf settings are correct. Cheers.
Mark Sargent.
Try putting an entry for home-hehbbzsuy7 with the ip-address in /etc/hosts. Possibly also add the Fully Qualified Domain Name (fqdn) in there, something like 192.168.1.5 home-hehbbzsuy7.snow.email.ne.jp home-hehbbzsuy7
Is the dns-server really reachable on/via 10.0.0.138 ? Try 'dig ns.nl.net' and see if it resolves to 193.78.240.1. Check the last four lines of the output of this command for te query-time and the server which was queried.
