I would say that DNS would be it. Sendmail is usually pretty quick. Does it know it's hostname, or is the hostname it thinks it is in DNS? If not you can probably speed things up by putting it in the /etc/hosts file. Sendmail should not take three minutes to start up. -- Groove On Dude Michael Conlen Obfuscated Networking meconlen@obfuscated.net > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Forrest > Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2001 1:57 AM > To: FreeBSD Questions > Subject: Why during boot does sendmail take so long? > > > Hi all, > Is the reason that sendamil takes so long on bootup because of DNS issues > > Starting standard daemons: sendmail [waits 3 minutes] > > Could I get faster bootup with a different mail server? > > -- Forrest > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
