Pine is SLOW [sendmail -q DNS lookup??]
Hello All With help from the knowldgable Juergen Braukmann Ive been able to get my mail to queue and send properly via sendmail -q However; when I compose a mail in pine (while offline - not connected to the net) then hit send... pine seems to try and send it immediatly rather than going directly to the mail queue. In other words I send a mail and it takes about 60 seconds + for pine to actually put it in the queue, during that time I cant do anything else in pine. Below is the output of my sendmail.rc.config. Im telling it -no dns-, and I dont see any setting in pine other than "background mode" which does nothing benificial in this case (still take 60 econds to send the mail to queue) What am I missing?? Im suspecting a dns issue but not sure what to adjust. I just want to be able to send mails to the queue without waiting.... thanks rob SENDMAIL_TYPE="yes" SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST="comet.connix.com" SENDMAIL_LOCALHOST="localhost Serina" SENDMAIL_RELAY="" # normal sites use "-bd -q30m -om". if you set SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE and you SENDMAIL_ARGS="-bd -om" SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE="yes" # you probably want to enable this on a SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE system. SENDMAIL_NOCANONIFY="yes" # /etc/hosts as described for SENDMAIL_NOCANONIFY. For most # people using dial on demand SENDMAIL_NOCANONIFY should work. SENDMAIL_NODNS="yes" SENDMAIL_DIALUP="yes" SENDMAIL_GENERICS_DOMAIN=""

thanks rob
Hi Rob, thanks for the flowers. ;-) I still think this is some DNS related issue. Either sendmail or pine is trying to resolve names <--> ip's. To find out, - try another mailer. (like `mail someone@somwhere.com) type a subject and end the mail body with a period "." in the first column. Same condition?? If not, Check your pine setup. If you type "route" (as root) or "netstat -r as user" are all IP's and networks resolved in coulumn 1 and two? Sendmail wants to resolve these (I think the nodns option works for sending mails, but not for resolving local ports and nets) slowly running out of ideas, Juergen -- =========================================== __ _ Juergen Braukmann juergen.braukmann@gmx.de| -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ===========================================_\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
