Well, I'm using sendmail 8.9.3. I have many lists running through it with mj 1.94.4 with no problems other than its slow. The problem I am having here is that the approval page times out and the mail is never being sent. is the cgi script sending the actual mail or just approving so another program can send it?
its just seems weird that the cgi would send the mail itself.
i am going to get postfix running this weekend to see if it helps. let me know if you have other suggestions.
thanx

What MTA are you using? Quite simply, I would not recommend anything but QMail or Postfix.
In ~mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py or ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py set both MAX_SPAWNS and SMTP_MAX_RCPTS high, the latter as high as yuor MTA will take.
Is your MTA running as a daemon or thru inetd? (should be runnign thru inetd for minimal startup time)
Is your MTA configured to do host lookups or other address verification (other than being sytacically correct) on all connections/addresses? If so, configure it NOT do lookups on localhost and all local IPs, and to cease checking addresses for other than syntactic correctness.
If you telnet to localhost on the SMTP port, how long does it take before the MTA's welcome message appears? If more than a fraction of a second, check for other DNS settings, and anything like TCP Wrappers or other security filters.
If your MTA is logging thru syslogd, make sure that the entries in /etc/syslog.conf for the MTA are set to not sync on each write (a '-' before the path).
Check any MTA settings related to system load, # of messages receieved in a single connection, # of recipients per message etc, and set appropriately.
