Thank you all for the suggestions and references. I made some quick changes, especially the
O Timeout.iconnect=5s sendmail option seemed to really help. I'm down to 4 to 10 minutes with most messages at 6. One question: Should I be looking at a better MTA? What is the fastest that works with RedHat 9? (I guess that is two questions...) Thanks!

For MTA performance tuning issues (especially sendmail), see my paper <http://www.shub-internet.org/brad/papers/sendmail-tuning/>, Nick's paper <http://www.jetcafe.org/npc/doc/performance_tuning.pdf>, and and Nick's book <http://www.jetcafe.org/npc/book/sendmail/>.
