Certainly possible. As for desireable, that's a more subjective decision based on need and email traffic: Requires Sendmail 8.13.0+. An example block from my sendmail.mc: dnl # Edit /etc/mail/access to something like this: dnl # dnl # GreetPause:host.domain.com 5000 dnl # GreetPause:domain.com 0 dnl # GreetPause:127.0.0.1 0 dnl # GreetPause:192.168.120 5000 dnl # dnl # the first and last lines will force a greet pause of 5 seconds dnl # (5000 milliseconds); the second and third lines tell sendmail not to dnl # wait at all. All other systems will be required to wait 2 dnl # seconds (2000 milliseconds, defined in the feature below.
