Ok, I think I got to sendmail tweaked to help on the slowness of "mailman", which is really a slowness of sendmail. I'll run this configure for a couple days and see if it helps. If not, I got a postfix rpm ready to go. I fixed the slowness with these sendmail options: define(`confTO_INITIAL', `2m')dnl define(`confTO_CONNECT', `2m')dnl define(`confTO_ICONNECT', `2m')dnl define(`confTO_HELO', `2m')dnl define(`confTO_RCPT', `2m')dnl define(`confTO_QUEUERETURN', `1h')dnl define(`confTO_QUEUEWARN', `30m')dnl Removed the FEATURE(`relay_based_on_MX') options. See your README.cf for details. -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
