My guess would be a resolving problem also. Its usually what causes sendmail to slow down. Check your /etc/hosts file Dan
My /etc/hosts file is only has the "nameserver x.x.x.x" entry.
the /var/log/maillog shows the entry right away when "mail" on the command line is done. Again, this is mail originating on the the box and destination is on the same box.
mailq always shows 0, even doing it repeatedly.
the mail delivery is delayed exactly 2 minutes.
I have 127.0.0.1 localhost in the /etc/hosts file.
Very odd, any thoughts?
If you don't have DNS running on the box, try adding the machine name to your hosts file Example: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost localdomain your-machine-name-here
Sorry formatting issue it should all be on one line
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost localdomain your-name-here Dan
