I'm not running dns on my local net. I've not had this type of problem in the past when I wasn't running dns localy. I don't think this is the issue. But if this *IS* a strong possibility.... please persist with your suggestion. And if someone else wants to support this suggestion... please speak up. Aparently the wait_sendmail command has made it possible for me to continue working with email while sendmail takes it's time sending. But there is still something wrong. I'd like to know what it is. AFAIK sendmail tries to find the names of all your local IPs via DNS at startup time, and if there is one IP with now reverse the sendmail start can take a long time. Nicolas PS: Merry christmas
