Yet another question with lots of answers that don't work for me.
I am also getting the "sendmail hangs at boot" problem but cannot solve
it.
I have done the following:
1. Loaded up the latest sendmail rpms:
[root@stanley /root]# rpm -qa | grep sendmail
sendmail-8.7.6-4
sendmail-cf-8.7.6-4
sendmail-doc-8.7.6-4
2. booted with an empty (actually non-existent) /etc/resolv.conf
3. Have a HOSTNAME file with a name in it (granted a name I made up, but
at least something).
I was going to put the sendmail invocation in the background in the rc.d
files, but it touches a log file afterwards, so I didn't know if that
would screw things up even worse.
What else should I try?
