sendmail at boot up

[anton]

Hello,

when I boot up my Redhat 7.0 , when sendmail is initalizing , it like stays there for few minutes... is there any logs to see what's wrong , or maybe someone else had the same problem ?

Thank you,
bye.

I've had the same problems. I'm not certain as to what exactly I did to fix the problem but it had somthing to do with the network cards settings, ex. ip, subnet etc. I had one of my network cards on the wrong subnet.

Just put localhost.localdomain in /etc/host or is it hosts and you should be fine.For logs of any sort look under /var/log the one for sendmail is maillog although some have it under messages or debug.Hope this helps.

That problem is so common in RedHat that it is mentioned in the book that comes with it.

It is also well documented in the install howto's for RedHat.

The local host entry mentioned above should take care of it.

Good Luck,
