Exactly how have you configured sendmail to relay to your Exchange server?? SmartRelay or Mailertable? Either way, you should not be seeing the type of delays you describe. Even DNS timeouts should not take 4-5 hours. Couple of things to check (substitute exchange.yourdomain.com, etc... to fit) : 1) type: dig exchange.yourdomain.com a 2) type: dig yourdomain.com mx 3) type: dig -x xx.xx.xx.xx (where xx.xx.xx.xx is the ip address of your exchange server) 4) type: sendmail -bt -d0.1 </dev/null If any of the above dig commands do not resolve, then this could possibly be causing your delay. Although, I would think the DNS timeouts would abort well before 4-5 hours. The output of sendmail -bt... will show how sendmail queried the resolver libs at startup. A couple of other things to try... 1) telnet exchange.yourdomain.com 25 2) telnet xx.xx.xx.xx 25 (where xx.xx.xx.xx is the ip address of your exchange server) Are there any delays associated with the above commands? Also, is there a firewall in between your sendmail system and the Exchange server? FWIW: I use sendmail as a frontend to our Exchange server and see delays of < 1 second on all e-mails.
