I would like to return to the "sendmail pausing" thread since I've not seen
a satisfactory response. In a previous message (quoted below) some
suggestions were made. I made sure the designated files contained the
designated information and sendmail still pauses. Can someone tell me where
to look next. The man page seems to say that sendmail wants a FQDN, but at
the point where I boot up there is no network since my machine is a
standalone until I fire up pppd and connect to my service provider. HELP
please.
