I checked the DNS resolvers and no problem there. Also if you ping a hostname it resolves immediately.
What about the fact that the mailq command takes upwards of 1 minute to output the q, even when the q is empty? -Dave -----Original Message----- From: Eric G.

My first guess would be to look at DNS resolution. It has the symptoms of slow host lookups. -- Eric G.
