Timeout from SMTP on HP-UX
I am using the SMTP on HP-UX 10.10 as my email gateway for sending out emails. Currently, there are 20 clients using outlook express on win95 for emailing. There is also a router with 64Kbps link for WAN connection. Recently, I have experience timeout message from SMTP and the email cannot be sent out. I have set the timeout interval on the
Outlook express from 1 min to 2 mins. But the same message still occur. Please advise me on how to troubleshoot this problem?

it is under the <Localizable Options> as follow:
#return time
0r5m
Is this the same as Timeout.queuereturn= option that you have mentioned.

Most of my experience with Sendmail is with the Solaris version by Sun, and with the Berkely version 8.x. The only HP-UX systems I have access to identify themselves as "HP-UX B.10.20". The sendmail running there is (berkely) "Version 8.7.5".
To determine your sendmail version, type the following at the command prompt (you do not need to be root for this);
# /usr/lib/sendmail -d0.9 < /dev/null
I am not familiar with the lines that you have posted in your previous comment. If you wish, you can send me a copy of your sendmail.cf via e-mail, and I'll see if I can provide any further suggestions. You'll find my e-mail address under my profile.

In your original question you state that you are experiencing timeout messages from SMTP. Where are you getting these timeout messages, and what do they look like?

Thank you for your rely.
I could not find the Timeout.queuereturn= in my sendmail.cf file.
I could only find the #return time
