Hello, It's been a while since I've configured sendmail, but at least in the good 'ol days, there used to be two settings you could configure - the queue run interval, and how sendmail treats new mail upon submission. The queue run intreval is typically set for something like every 10 minutes or so, but can be anything. This is the period of time that sendmail would wake up and go through the queue again.
The second setting has to do with how to handle mail when first submitted to sendmail. The default behavour in most installations I've seen is for it to attempt immediate delivery, however sendmail can be configured to simply queue the message and wait for the next queue run to process. This may be what you are seeing. Check the Optoins section in the sendmail configuration file to see how this is setup, and also how sendmail is invoked, as this can be overridden with command line arguments at startup time. Best Regards, Tim Kehres International Messaging Associates http://www.ima.com P.S.: The above is based on how sendmail worked several years ago - I doubt that this has changed, however apologies in advance should this be the case... :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ronald Hermans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 8:21 PM Subject: RE: SendMail & Exchange > Hi, > Thanx for the reply, I checked the logfiles and the delays where all around > 2 ours and 10 minutes. > Have you any idea what I can do about it? > > > > On 03-Jan-2003/12:49 +0100, Ronald Hermans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >I've set up BugZilla on a RH8.0 machine for the local Intranet.
