Hi!I have configured mail server on FreeBSD 5.4 with sendmail 8.13.5 and cyrus-imapd v2. I am also using client Mulberry (but also tested with Tbird, Outlook Express, Outlook). I use IMAP access with all the clients, the server is on the same network as clients (100 Mbit network). The issue is when I try to send several messages one after another I get smtp delay message and this sometimes takes for 30 sec to a minute. My sendmail has configured a smart host and also to accept unqualified domains.I have attached my sendmail config. What am I missing here?
30s delays sounds like DNS timeouts. Check that the host running sendmail
can do a reverse lookup on the IP number of the clients connecting to it.
Simply putting IPs and hostnames of all your client boxes into /etc/hosts
should fix the problem.
Alternatively, that delay could be due to the ident protocol. Ident is
trivially easy to spoof which makes it a pointless waste of time. Putting:
define(`confTO_IDENT', `0')dnl
in your .mc file will stop ident getting in your hair.
The third possibility is that you've got quite a few milters set up there
and sendmail simply needs a bit of time to run each message through all of
them.
Cheers,
Matthew
