Troubleshooting
Sendmail Hangs on Startup
If Sendmail takes several minutes to start and your PHP scripts hangs when attempting to send emails via sendmail (eg: using the mail() function), ensure that your hosts file has its host name as an alias to localhost.
For instance, your hosts file should look something like this:
[leo@crow ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
109.169.59.122 crow
You would want to add your host name to 127.0.0.1:
[leo@crow ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost crow
109.169.59.122 crow
Once that’s done, sendmail should start and work normally.
