is there a timeout that I can set in sendmail to set a longer wait time on this?
Something else is wrong now. I can't connect to the SMTP port of bhost1.broadjam.net, so I can't tell if it's down or just refusing my attempt to connect.
I think it is just refusing your connection attempts.
Are you sure you should be sending outgoing email through that host?
yes.
my flags in my rc.conf are:
sendmail_enable="YES" sendmail_flags="-bd -q30m" # -bd is pretty mandatory.
This looks a bit wrong, if you are running a recent release of FreeBSD. The sendmail_enable option is *NOT* going to work with _flags. It is mostly a wrapper around the following:
sendmail_submit_enable sendmail_outbound_enable sendmail_msp_queue_enable
You should definitely read the manpage of rc.sendmail, before setting Sendmail-related options in your /etc/rc.conf file. Pay very close attention to the section ``RC.CONF VARIABLES''.
from my man rc.conf:
RC.CONF VARIABLES
The following variables affect the behavior of rc.sendmail. They are
defined in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and can be changed in /etc/rc.conf.
sendmail_enable
(str) If set to ``YES'', run the sendmail(8) daemon at system
boot time. If set to ``NO'', do not run a sendmail(8) daemon to
listen for incoming network mail. This does not preclude a
sendmail(8) daemon listening on the SMTP port of the loopback
interface. The ``NONE'' option is deprecated and should not be
used. It will be removed in a future release.
sendmail_flags
(str) If sendmail_enable is set to ``YES'', these are the flags
to pass to the sendmail(8) daemon.
and my settings are:
sendmail_enable="YES" sendmail_flags="-bd -q30m" # -bd is pretty mandatory.
the only thing that I see wrong here is that I do not need the -bd which tells sendmail to run as a daemon since sendmail_enable="YES" essentially does this. the other is to process the queue every 30 minutes. am I missing my problem here?
