sendmail

<< < (2/2)

Master of Reality:
its set to xen
it is properly configured in hosts (i am almost positive (not in Linux right now, but i checked it  couple seconds ago))

voidmain:
What's your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc look like? Actually I would suggest going through this document:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/ref-guide/s1-email-sendmail.html

and you should be going in no time.  But I know it is related to how you have your hostname/domain set up, and your /etc/hosts. But if you follow the above document you should be able to get it going on your own. The reason it takes so long for it to start is it can not resolve the hostname/domain you have it configured for.  There are some simple changes to sendmail.mc that should be able to override your local configuration. The sendmail.mc is a macro file used to generate (using the "m4" command) the /etc/sendmail.cf file (main sendmail configuration file).

One last thing. The homename in your /etc/sysconfig/network file should also match your /etc/hosts.
