RE: [cobalt-users] sendmail - deferred connections

["Manny Tau" <mtau@xxxxxxx>]

My 550 is providing the DNS, and there is a reverse/PTR record for the
domain(s), along with MX records. Here's what I've got for the SOA if this
helps any:

Refresh Interval: 7200
Retry Interval: 3600
Expire Interval: 604800
Time To Live Interval: 86400

Odd that all was working fine till recently...

Any help greatly appreciated,
Manny

Sounds like a DNS issue on your end or your upstream. Whatever source
you're using to resolve DNS may be timing out. Does the IP of your
server have a proper rDNS?
