This is a very late summary , i am sorry for this. But I just realized
what caused my problem.
Thanx to James Ford, Roger B.A. Klorese , Sugan Moodley, Chris Marble,
Serhat Ebil and Michael Miller.
Except Sugan, they all pointed to dns and reverse dns issues. Sugan
advised to change the line Timout.ident=30s to 3s in cf file.
Unfortunately it was not my problem. With my own 8.9.3/8.9.3 sendmail ,
everything was working fine but i was continuously having messages like
this :
Alias0 : missing map file /etc/mail/aliases.db ...
And archives advices to makemap alias file to stop messages. I did it, the
messages ended , but sendmail froze at the same time. The solution was
going back to original solaris binaries and cf files until compiling them
once again. Here is my original question.
