sendmail timeout
Just implemented sendmail on rh9. The clients are timing out or dropping a connection to the server. What's up? I've been tweaking, but no noticable change. They can recieve and send mail, but it errors out consistently and then reconnects fine. Am I missing a timeout setting in the cf file? My boss is about to give up on this linux/sendmail resolution and it would be a shame because it has already proven to be better than our past piece of sit quickmail macOS server. Let sendmail live on.
