Date: 12 Feb 1996 17:04:29 GMT Organization: TK Consulting - Dallas, Texas Lines: 35 Message-ID: <4fnrut$bfa@news.unicomp.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: tk.org X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I can't exactly say WHEN this problem started happening but I know it seems to be around the time we upgraded from 1.1R to 2.0R and it has persisted when upgrading to 2.1R and all permutations of sendmail. the error: Feb 12 10:07:28 tk sendmail[787]: JAA00787: SYSERR(root): collect: read timeout on connection from listserv.cnet.com, from=<owner-dispatch@LISTSERV.CNET.COM> Mail never gets through and sendmail will sit and sit and wait and wait until eventually it does timeout. Here's what a ps -agx looks like when it's running: 854 ?? I 0:00.16 sendmail: server listserv.cnet.com child wait (sendma 855 ?? I 0:00.33 sendmail: KAA00855 listserv.cnet.com [204.162.80.120] 1273 ?? I 0:00.17 sendmail: server listserv.cnet.com child wait (sendma 1279 ?? I 0:00.36 sendmail: KAA01279 listserv.cnet.com [204.162.80.120] We are using SLIP at 28.8k - tty is set to 57600 but no diff when using 115200 ... I know ti.com and aol.com have both had this problem with us and i'll be damned if I can find ANY reason why. Even installed the latest and greatest sendmail ... to no avail. Anyone??? PLEASE? :-) Thanks! --- Kurt Grutzmacher, TK Consulting http://www.tk.org/~grutz Provider to the penniless indivual, http://www.tk.org/ non-profit organizations, and clubs grutz@tk.org
