First, let me apologize for claiming you hadn't responded to the old
spam-control thread. After I was reminded, I remembered.
I still would like to see the online archives up to date, and I
probably have time to help with that any way you'd like.

Symptoms - inbound connections from remote mail
servers experience a
long delay after the connection is made before sendmail acknowledges
the connection. Most of the time the mail goes through, but the long
pause bothers me. Other times the remote mail server times out, and
retries later, but gets through. As a result, it appears that mail is
going through but is significantly delayed. The error message is the
typical "timeout waiting for..... during client greeting". No, the
problem is definitely not reverse DNS (ident) or low level network
related - the typical causes for that problem.
Other symptoms - I'm subscribed under 2 accounts (just for this
weekend) because the mdrconsult.com server is flaking and I can't get
into the building. I tried to post from the "doc(a)mdrconsult.com" and
got a bounce error from classiccmp.org - user unknown. I'll forward the
bounce privately if you want. Second, I'm getting the list traffic on
this account literally hours before it shows on mdrconsult. I'm
reasonably sure that's not on this end.
Not bitching, mind you, just offering fodder for the diagnostics.
I will post to the list once the problem is resolved,
unless I choose
to finally get some sleep.
So go to bed, already. We all know how to deal with withdrawal
symptoms.
Thanks for all the fishes.
Doc
