Our new mail server on SlackWare 96' doesn't process local mail on our
internal ethernet until the queue time specified on the sendmail daemon
executable line in rc.M:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q 15m

in this case 15 minutes, so I decreased this to

/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q 1m

Our Sun Sparc always processed our internal mail at once. What's the deal?

Are you sure, that you want to get dozens of e-mails with 120MB of
compressed data?

Have a look at http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux, in particular
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/FAQ and
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO

BTW: I assume, you meant just Linux, because there is no Linux for DOS and
I'm sure it will never be.

perhaps you don't need the "-q" option at all.

Although it would be kind of fun to run under DOSEmu... :)

See the option DeliverMode or something like that in sendmail.cf. It
probably stands on queue instead of background.

you might find the cause of this in rmail. Just take vi, open /usr/bin/rmail
search for "sendmail". You might find something like
"/usr/sbin/sendmail -oee -odq -oi". odq means queued delivery. Change it to
-odb for background delivery.
