Are you sure sendmail is off in the runlevel your system is set to boot to? With all due respect... I find this hard to believe. > > This used to happen much quicker when I first installed > Linux, where should I start in terms of troubleshooting? 1) Have you changed the hostname of your system lately? 2) Is your systems resolver libs set correctly? i.e. DNS timeouts The most common reason sendmail hangs at system startup is it cannot determine it's FQDN and do a reverse lookup on that FQDN. A good starting point would be to run: sendmail -bt -d0.1 </dev/null Then be sure the "canonical domain name" is either listed in your /etc/hosts file -or- can be looked up through dns (both forward and reverse).
