Hi all,
I have a local user account call "panel" on a machine. When I use the mail command to manually send email to the panel account it over 1 minute until that mail actually deposited in the mail account.
What setting is that reduces this time?
I changed /etc/sysconfig/sendmail the QUEUE=10s and that did not have any effect.
You could look at /var/log/maillog to see what steps happened and the timestamps. My guess is that your DNS is badly broken and it is waiting for the local machine name and/or IP to resolve. Does 'nslookup' return quickly with these?
My guess would be a resolving problem also. Its usually what causes sendmail to slow down. Check your /etc/hosts file Dan
