I am running:
Majordomo 1.94.5
RedHat Linux 7.0 with standard version of sendmail
on a pentium III 450 with 128MB RAM

It seems to take a long time for messages to get sent out on this server.
Just a straight email from one of my other accounts to a local account on
the list server arrives almost immediately.  Also, if I email a command to
majordomo while at the console the response is almost immediate. If I send a
command or post from my standard e-mail account, which is on a different
server and domain altogether, the list server takes 5 minutes to send a
receipt and 8 to 10 minutes to respond to the command or post.

The problem must be in sendmail or the basic network configuration of the
machine, although I can ping things by name and number so its not a name
resolution issue.  However, when I do ping there is a lag of a few seconds
and then all the replies show up at once with no packet loss.

Could it be some sort of SMTP connect timeout issue?

Other than this everything seems to work fine.


Thanks,

Jack
