If so, have you any solutions? Hi. I'm coming very late to this, so apologies if you've already had a solution. I don't know how to do it, but if you could persuade sendmail not to handle smtp messages in batches, i.e. to handle each message in a separate connection, while it might be a little more cpu intensive, it should solve your problem. As for me, I gave up on Sendmail because I didn't want to learn md4, not to mention all those config files scattered everywhere, so I use Exim instead, can be a bit of a pain to set up, but much easier to make config changes imho.
