Semi-OT: Sendmail Resolver Problem

[Andy Jezierski <aj...@stepan.com>]

I know this isn't the sendmail mailing list, but I figured what the heck,
someone might know.  I've setup a new box for SA3 running sendmail 8.13.
Sendmail is hanging up on me for 1 minute during the RCPT TO processing on
each message which usually means a DNS problem.  Well DNS is working fine,
and I've already run a sendmail -bi to rebuild the alias file just in case.

What am I missing?  I know it's probably some stupid little thing I forgot
to do.

Thanks.  I'm off to continue banging my head against the wall.
Andy

8.13 includes support to delay initial connections (supposed to help reduce
zombie spam), it might be due to this.

Found it.  One of the DNSBL's I was using must have gone away.  I knew it
had to be something silly.

Thanks
