Hello Cobalt gurus -- Any sendmail experts out there? I'm running a RaQ2 with all the updates. I believe that the current RaQ2 sendmail is version 8.9.3 (true?) My sendmail is having trouble receiving messages from some of its mail server counterparts because it responds slowly and sometimes they timeout. I suspect that the slow response is due to the spam-suppressing reverse server name lookup -- my server accepts no connections from servers whose names it can't resolve. This is the correct behavior. The trouble is that it takes too long to do the lookup even of remote hosts whose names do resolve. Acording to the doc at sendmail.org, the default timeout.ident was dropped from 30 seconds to 5 seconds starting with version 8.5. My sendmail.cf contains this line: #O Timeout.ident=30s which, as you can see, is commented-out so I presume that it's defaulting to 5 seconds. Can you suggest what else I might check or tweak? Many thanks for sharing your wisdom!
