Sendmail slow?

[Knute Johnson]

Anybody know why sendmail is so slow to respond initially to a sent 
email?  When I hit the send button it takes about 8 seconds for the 
email to go.  I'm running Ubuntu server 8.10 and sendmail 8.14.3.  I had 
my mail server on a Fedora box before this and it would send mail 
immediately upon hitting the send button in my mail client.  As far as I 
can tell, sendmail is configured identically to the old Fedora box.  I 
have greet pause enabled but disabled for my sending address.  If I 
enable it for my address it takes that much longer, so I know at least 
that is working correctly.  Any ideas where to start looking would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
