It sits there for 20 seconds then squirts out the SMTP dialogue. strace shows four 5-second delays for DNS lookups, apparently two for sparge.sill and two for sparge. The script doesn't contain any reference to sparge: ---- #!/usr/bin/env python2 # import smtplib mail_from = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' data = 'this is a test' # change these variables mail_to = 'dave' smtphost = 'localhost' server = smtplib.SMTP(smtphost) server.set_debuglevel(1) server.sendmail(mail_from, mail_to, data) server.quit() ---- /etc/hosts is: ---- 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.1 lanmodem 192.168.1.4 sparge.sill sparge ---- Thanks for your help. Looks like a python<->DNS issue. Where should I go next? -Dave _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
