So, I think I have something in sendmail that's causing this. Any ideas?
Perhaps a difference between calling the sendmail binary to put the mail in the queue and connecting to port 25? Although IIRC both do sendmail binary by default.
It sounds like some kind of auth or dns timeout. <snip>
I agree, but I haven't found it yet. I did find something in the sendmail logs -- a "delay" and "xdelay" that look about the right length for my problem. I'm not sure if that's significant, or I'm just grasping at straws. Here are a couple of entries: Dec 2 17:05:08 newguy sendmail[2061]: hB2M58Vk002061: from=bcurran, size=329, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<20031202220508.GJ1246@newguy.mills.curran>, relay=bcurran@localhost Dec 2 17:05:24 newguy sendmail[2065]: hB2M5NMk002065: from=<bcurran@mills-curran.net>, size=492, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<20031202220508.GJ1246@newguy.mills.curran>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] Dec 2 17:05:24 newguy sendmail[2061]: hB2M58Vk002061: to=mills-curran_bill@emc.com, ctladdr=bcurran (500/502), delay=00:00:16, xdelay=00:00:16, mailer=relay, pri=30329, relay=localhost.us.dg.com.

For now I've buried the problem with a mutt config change, but I'd like to understand the issue and fix the root cause. Thanks, Bill
