[linux-help] Re: sendmail - delay

[Weqaar Ali Janjua <wxjanjua@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
   Well this problem is not with sendmail as port 110 is used by POP(by 
default) not by SMTP. Disabling IDENT should solve ur problem. Disable identd 
on ur machine and maybe u have to make some changes to the following 
conf/files:
The easiest way is to read the following manpages but disabling identD should 
work:
- inetd(8)
- inetd.conf(8)
- hosts_access(5)
- tcpd(8)
Its a better idea to disable ident with sendmail. If u r not using sendmail 
8.6.5 or earlier try diabling IDENT by putting the following line in ur 
sendmail.cf and restarting sendmail:

Orident=0

Let me know if it helps or not.
