Title: Sendmail Performance with mailman

As of today, I am no longer getting failures in the smtp-error logs, however it seems that incoming messages are parsed to mailman, then queued for 10 to 40 minutes where they just wait.  No errors, no timeouts, they just wait.  Here is a sample from the sendmail output:

 

May  3 11:34:04 listserver sendmail[12350]: g43IY4x12350: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=113834, dsn=4.4.3, stat=queued

 

Where is username is a list recipient.  I will see no other entries for about 10 to 40 minutes, then a successful message entry for it being sent. 

 

May  3 12:08:18 listserver sendmail[12382]: g43IY4x12348: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:34:14, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=203834, relay=mail4.quik.com. [216.176.28.29], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (g43JAEL18784 Message accepted for delivery)

 

 

 Now, if I use the box as a relay, or a local mail, the message is immediately sent and delivered.  So it seems to be something related to Mailman.

Subject: [Mailman-Users] Sendmail Performance with mailman

I have had an ongoing problem with qrunner being extremely slow, so I tried some of the suggestions in the faq.
I made the following changes:

I added the followind to my sendmail startup....
        /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -ODeliveryMode=defer \
               -ODaemonPortOptions=Name=MSA,Port=1313,M=E,Addr=127.0.0.1

I now have sendmail running on two ports, 25 and 1313.  Was this correct?

In addition I added
        SMTPPORT = 1313
to my mm_cfg.py file. 

My first question is, I can find no mention anywhere in the doc where it says I need to recompile or do something else to have mailman read the changed in mm_cfg.py, is this correct?  Do these changes just take effect by adding them to that file?  Next, how do I verify this is working?  I can telnet into both ports and they respond as expected.  Unfortunately I am now getting a lot of messages queued up by sendmail, and I am getting a lot of entries in the mailman smtp-failure log.
