Hi, After following these instructions, when I reboot it takes 3 minutes for sendmail to start during the "blue bar part" of the bootup. I notice that there are two processes called sendmail running one owned by root and the other by smmsp(?). It works afterwards, sending the cron reports, and also sending to some of my pop email accounts. But mail is refused by mac.com accounts with the return message that "Real domain name required for sender address". Many thanks.

  I was just coming back to see if Chris had posted a response to any of our questions, and saw this topic. I, too, have noticed that "starting sendmail" now takes more than two minutes during startup on my Dual500/G4. This is a little frustrating, and makes me wonder if it's really necessary...
  
  Is there anything we can do to fix this???
  
  Thanks, John
