Hi
I have 2 instances of sendmail in one server, one for incoming connections and the second is used for applications to send emails for outgoing connections.

With the outgoing connections I have a problem because the TCP connection is slow at the begining of the connection (It takes 3 seconds more less) but it isn't slow with the streaming... I mean if one application open a socket and it sends all the emails on that socket then its too fast (because its only slow at the begginig of the connection) but I have another applications that open a socket then send the email then close that socket so that applications cant sends emails quickly.

So the sniffer shows the TCP connection is successfully established but the sendmail takes 2 seconds to respond.

This sendmail instance was modified to hide the information of the internal servers.

I have no problem with the instance for the incoming connections. This binary of sendmail wasnt modified.

Please advice...
 
Well... the problem was resolved modifying the param
Timeout.ident=0 into the .cf file
....
