finally getting around to doing a DATA statement.




The only reason I can think off for something like this, is that maybe sendmail is tar-pitting the connection and deliberately adding a delay.

Does sendmail have tar-pitting these days?


Not my sendmail. There are milters that do it and sendmail 8.13.0 looks like it will have some kind of tarpitting.

Do you have a tcpdump of such a conversation?


Nope. That might be doable.
