After even MORE research, I discovered this boils down to an ident timeout. (I noticed that the timeout was almost always between 15-30 seconds). In /etc/sendmail.cf I changed #O Timeout.ident=30s to O Timeout.ident=0s and restarted sendmail (restarted the vs, actually) and connections to the SMTP server were instant again.

After further research, this appears to be a slowdown between me and my host server. It appears to be OK using an AT&T backbone, but using the ALTER.NET backbone seems to give me problems. Oh, well. (Banging my head against the wall, since I just realized I can't fix this myself).

Why in the world would sendmail take forever to accept an incoming connection on my vs? It's taking upwards of 30 seconds -- and it's timing out other SMTP agents (when I try to test sending email to my admin account on the server). Any suggestions on speeding things up?
