Sendmail takes ages to start at bootup

	Hi all,

		Just a question to satisfy my curiosity.  When booting sendmail takes
a very long time to start.  This happens in FC6 but even longer in F7 on
a new laptop.  I'm watching it now and its been 7 minutes so far.  Done!
Sendmail finished in 9 minutes and now sm-client ... is ... finished
in ... 4 minutes.  The rest boots quite quickly, less than 2 minutes for
everything else.  All mail is done through another box.  This is not a
problem, allows plenty of time to make some tea and get a slice of cake.

Regards
Simon
