IIRC, the parameters in the Net::SMTP module you've shown are connecting to the server $exchange on port 587 (message submission). The delay is set there too - the value of 10. I seem to recall that's in seconds.
To reach $exchange, you'll need access outbound on port 587. Someone else will have to advise you on sendmail, Postfix is in use here.

SpamAssassin: no Internet hashing methods available, so couldn't report. the delay is a bit annoying when i report a few messages from inside my mail program. i think i have narrowed down the source of the problem to this bit of code: if ($smtp = Net::SMTP->new($exchange, Hello => $hello, Port => 587, Timeout => 10)) now i am not sure what that does... is it perhaps trying to connect to an external mail server (which will probably not work on our lan because we have a proxy/firewall)? in which case, can i configure it to use a local sendmail instance? failing this, is it possible to turn of reporting to spamcop? thanks, andrew.
