This sounds like an ident timeout issue, but the sendmail config file has ident.timeout = 0 already which is supposed to turn off ident.

Hi Dave,
I get this :
Aliases:
real 0m0.010s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.005s
hopefully not a failing disk as it's pretty new. Everything else on the server runs lightning fast - just sendmail that takes its sweet time.

Anyone had any experience with this sort of problem? I've searched through the slug archives and google and checked the suggestions there (/etc/host entries and dns settings) to no avail.
have you checked the response time/quality from your dns servers? use: #time host -t mx testmaildomain.com mydnsserver
It sounds very much like a DNS problem, or even a failing disk... but I use postfix, so I don't know much more about sendmail...
