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
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 __/_/_//_/_,_/ /_/_\
