We have a problem which has just recently occurred for some unknown reason. sendmail is taking over 10 minutes to verify distribution lists which are in the aliases file. We are running the MX version of sendmail and the aliases file is a NIS (YP) map. This is on a lightly loaded sun 4/280. eg. telnet shiva 25 Trying 137.147.20.34 ... Connected to shiva. Escape character is '^]'. 220 shiva.trl.OZ.AU Sendmail 4.1/TRL ready at Thu, 23 May 91 16:21:10 EST vrfy some_list !!takes a long time Does anybody have any ideas what could be causing this. BTW the nameserver and the YP services seems ok. I can ypcat the aliases file and nslookup return quite quickly. Richard Liu
