Do you think it's wise to replace the sendmail.cf and sendmail.mc files
from the snapshot (after backing them up, of course)?
If you did not change the files: no. As I said: go thru a manual send and
check *where* the timeout occurs (better: repeat it a few times to be sure
it's always in the same phase). The messages in the logs are not very
clear about this. If your users have to authenticate before sending this
could be a typical point-of-failure where after the reboot the
authentication against an external mechanism is somehow hampered. I guess,
you do have any spam protection on the machine as you said it's not taking
external mail?

nothing but vanilla stuff here, for email. no milters, no spam
protection...it's a tiny intranet (<20 users). We don't auth on sending
at all...and that's what got me puzzled.
I will do as you suggested; I'll telnet from a client-host and do the
same. Funny though, when ssh'd into the box, using pine works without
hesitation, I guess because I'm already auth'd.
Thanks for your input.
