sendmail.org mailing list

Im working on an issue with an FC 6 box that we are using for mail  
(suddenly  started slowing down).  I think the issue might be related  
to uw-imap or my sendmail config.  I cant find the mailing list for  
sendmail.  Does anyone know if they have one?  My log files are full  
of this:
Apr 29 21:04:44 mail xinetd[7457]: START: imap pid=20811 from=204.111.40.3

We are using Horde 3.1.x and imp 4.  For some reason each client is  
logged in and out their entire mail session.  I cant find any kind of  
config for imap, and my xinted.conf is standard.  Im not sure, but I  
dont think this is normal.

thanks,

This has nothing to do with sendmail, but with the uw-imap server.

… or with these two.

Well, since the messages relate to "imap" one can easily eliminate sendmail.

I don't used horde or imp, yet you may want to post your xinted.conf for
others to take a peek at and you may want to check with the horde and imp
folks.  Also, is there only one IP address showing this?  What do you get
when you type "host 204.111.40.3"?  Could be that the logging is trying to
do a reverse lookup of the IP and it is failing.
