Counting the standard values for resolving names together gave me: first try 10s + timout 5s + second try 10s + timeout 5s (and so on, until 4 retries are done) more than 60s! I assume, that this was the reason for at least _many_ of the "did not issue MAIL..." error-messages.
Could be. Do you have a local dns server? If you don't, perhaps you could set one as cache, and perhaps the "not found" answer would be inmediate. I'm unsure of this, but you could try.
I use a local dns server - but I think, since the the inactive RBL is like a dead dns server, you cannot avoid the timeout.
I think I remember that rbl lookup was optional before, with suse 7.3, somewhere on the main mail config. I use postfix now, I can not check.
RBL is still optional in SuSE sendmail, but its on by default (at least in SuSE 8.1).
