I wrote yesterday about the slowness with sendmail regarding to PHP - it
turns out it wasn't what I thought. I didn't have to change sendmail
configuration - I had to modify my hosts file! <kicks self> Apparently,
sendmail really doesn't like not having a FQDN in hosts.
The problem was that the hosts file didn't have a fully qualified domain
name. Here's an example of the change I made:
# OLD, BAD CONFIGURATION
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.100 www
# NEW, GOOD CONFIGURATION
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.100 www.mydomain.com
I hope this helps!
Regards,
-Tim

I suppose he could post his sendmail configuration, and someone could
try and decipher it ...
hehe... This makes me laugh. I know that the OP has already posted his
results
with switching to Postfix, but I find it hilarious that one has to 'tune'
sendmail variables to make it faster while Postfix blazes from the moment of
install.
GO POSTFIX! WOOHOO!
