Hi, There is an extremely long delay when sendmail first start up, right when:
Starting Mail Transport Agent (MTA): sendmail The googled answer that I get is to put in startic IP, or use full host name, but this is a live system. Is there any other way to solve it? Moreover, I just can't understand the can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue-client/): Permission denied error. Please help.
