This delay could be coming from sendmail. A way to find out would be
to "catch" it with a top display. Often, the problem is looking up
names in the DNS that are associated with interface addresses on the
subject machine. Run sendmail from the command line in debug mode to
find out:
$ /usr/lib/sendmail -d0.4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
