Hi, I had a strange behaviour this weekend: the first of two dns server of my hoster in /etc/resolv.conf was down. The second dns server was working. Mimedefang/Spamassassin didn't like that. I had very long dns time outs for remote checks. It took over a minute for an email to run through mimedefang. System wide dns worked fine, eg. like pinging domains. After removing the "down" dns server from /etc/resolv.conf and restarting sendmail and mimedefang emails went through within a second again. It shouldn't make a difference to mimedefang if one of the dns server is down. Any ideas?
