Package: sendmail Version: 8.13.4-3sarge3 Severity: important The default for the MTA Timeout.iconnect setting as set by the debian-mta config file is 5 seconds. This is absurdly aggressive and causes ridiculous amounts of unnecessary queuing. This timeout should be set to at least 30 seconds and probably more like 2 minutes.
