I have just recently started running Sendmail 5.65b/IDA-1.4.3 on
our sun3's and sun4's here. All the suns are ethernetted, with
an AARNET link out, and a UUCP link.

If I type 'mail uucpnode\!root' (\ for shell niceness) I can
send mail no problem.

If I then type ps -aux | sort | tail

I see a process called 'send-mail -i uucpnode!root' chewing up
88% of cpu time, and this is AFTER it has finished sending
the mail. A particular run has lasted two days before being
killed. (The uucp 'uux -rz - < mail msg' finished almost
immediately, and is not hung. Besides, if the sendmail were
hung waiting, it would be using no time.)

Now, this is annoying (to put it mildly) and I would like to 
know if anyone has experienced this magic hanging.

If you have fixed it, could you PLEASE tell me about it!

Cheers
   David.

PS mail would be preferrable, I dont often get a chance to read
news. Thanks.
