The sendmail timeout for greeting wait is hard coded to 5 minutes ( except V8 ).
If you have 2225 people on a mailing list ( Like I have ) with 60 people on the list with
non-responsive sendmail daemons, then it would take over 5 hours for the last person on the list
to be delivered to... WOW

Guess I'll have to upgrade to V8.
