Up until a few days ago I had been using Caldera to run my linux box. It
worked pretty well.
But I sent out for Debian and it arrived, so I decided to install it.
Apart from all the minor bugs I've still got to work out, there's one
that's got me stumped:
When I ran Caldera the sendmail daemon would start up within a few
seconds of the "Starting mail transport agent: sendmail" message, and
would always respond promptly to commands like mailq and deliver local
mail immediately.
However the Debian sendmail takes extremely long to start up (close to a
minute) when the "Starting mail transport agent etc etc" message comes
up at startup. Mail delivery is not done, even to local users, and the
mailq command does not produce output (it just sits there until I press
Ctrl-C).
Are the Debian and Caldera versions of sendmail extremely different, and
that's why it's slower, or did I configure something wrong?
Also, I notice that in the Debian sendmail.cf file there's no DS
parameter (for "smart relay" hosts). I prefer to use smart relay than
direct delivery, can I simply add a DSsmarthost.com line to sendmail.cf?
