Thank you! I tried the good way and the generated sendmail.cf file was much smaller then the original Solaris one so I went for a "wrong" one. The good news is - it seems to improve the situation, I'm not getting any more timeouts. The bad news is I'm getting the following report:

Code:
... while talking to mail.foo.com.:
>>> HELO wayossws55.
<<< 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable

It looks like mailserver does not like my WS name. Is there any way to trace a good scenario? I have another WS that seems to be sending the e-mails ok.

Regards,
PN
