Sendmail pauses for approximately 30 seconds before sending mail

Asked by jonnykeogh in SendMail Email Server, Linux

Tags: ,

Good morning,

I am having a bit of an annoying problem with Sendmail. Whenever I send an e-mail, the application pauses for around 30 seconds, then sends the e-mail fine.

Example:
is-2114:~# sendmail root -s "This is a test"
This is a test e-mail.
*Ctrl-D* [long pause - approx 30 seconds]
You have new mail in /var/mail/root
is-2114:~#

Another example is when using PHP to send an e-mail, PHP freezes for around 30 seconds and then sends th e-email. This is annoying because my web site sends e-mail numerous times and the client has to wait 30 seconds to go on to the next page.

Any advice would be very grateful.
