Re: Sendmail greeting delay

[David Parker <dparker@utica.edu>]

Thanks, but it looks like the IDENT setting was the culprit.  I just had to change this setting in sendmail.cf:

    O Timeout.ident=5s

Changing it from 5s to 0s resolved the problem immediately.  Thanks again, everyone!

Hello,

My /etc/mail/access file is pasted below.  The PC I'm testing from is on the 10.x.x.x network, which should be allowed to
connect with no delay.  I have also tried setting the default GreetPause to "0" but it still made no difference.

Dave,
        I'm struggling with a reference beyond my own work. Please try putting a second and maybe a third octet on your GreetPause: 10 line. Also, please verify you are issuing a kill -HUP on sendmail. We never got sendmail greetpause to work with a single octet. Normally we do 3 octets for all the RFC1918 addresses we use.
