Re: Sendmail startup delay

The common problem wrt startup delay is that your /etc/hosts isn't quite upto snuff. 1) make sure you have 127.0.0.1 localhost (preferably as 1st line) 2) make sure every interface (tr, eth, ppp, etc.) has an entry -- Rick Nelson C:\WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS\GO C:\PC\CRAWL

Let sendmail's local delivery work as before, and add this line to your sendmail.mc: define(`SMART_HOST', `mailhub') where mailhub is the name of your firewall machine. sendmail will then forward any non-local mail to mailhub -- Rick Nelson C:\WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS\GO C:\PC\CRAWL
