    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,
