Sendmail delays

[Grant Ozolins]

Hi List,

Quite often when I try to send mail from either PHP or mutt (and 
probably other processes too), it takes Sendmail some multiple of 5 
seconds to accept the email and let the calling process get on with 
things, i.e. 30, 35, 45, 55 seconds to accept the mail.

My system is based around FC3-minimal on a dual opteron 244 box

I'm using the stock sendmail.mc file except that I have

dnlFEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl

and

dnlDAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

Commented.  I initially thought this might be a greet_pause type thing, 
but it's not actually implemented.

Any pointers towards relevant info or suggestions would be very 
gratefully appreciated.

Cheers,
