I have a stupid question. What does the NORMAL logging look like
when you submit an email with /usr/sbin/sendmail
A) For the machine that works normally
B) For the machine that works abnormally
The question then is what logging time stamps are delayed.
I would also recommend that you do a "diff -cr" on the /etc/postfix
files of the two machines.
