Hello
I use sendmail 8.13-7.
I've got a problem to send emails from my server to some smtp servers based
on Exim
From time to time I can see:
"Deferred: 451 Could not complete sender verify callout"
in maillog during connection to some servers.
I can't find out if it's my sendmail misconfigurtion problem or problem is
on other sites.
Some times it helps if I add
Connect:a.b.c.d OK
line in /etc/mail/access , but I don't like this method.
Do you have any suggestion how to solve this question ???

Most likely getting "RCPT TO:" reply takes too long due to time it takes
too complete DNSBL lookups.

Which DNSBL do you use to block spam at your site?
[As a rule of thumb I would suggest maximum 3 from non local source]

In sendmail I use dnsbl features:
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `proxies.blackholes.easynet.nl', `"550 5.7.1 ACCESS DENIED
to OPEN PROXY SERVER "$&{client_name}" by easynet.nl DNSBL
(http://proxies.blackholes.easynet.nl/errors.html)"', `')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `relays.ordb.org', `"550 Email rejected due to sending
server misconfiguration - see http://www.ordb.org/faq/\#why_rejected"')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `bl.spamcop.net', `"450 Mail from " $`'&{client_addr} "
refused - see http://spamcop.net/bl.shtml Twoj serwer jest na czarnej liscie
SpamCop."')
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`sbl.spamhaus.org',`Rejected - see http://spamhaus.org/')dnl
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)
FEATURE(`dnsbl')
FEATURE(dnsbl,`blackholes.mail-abuse.org',` Mail from $&{client_addr}
rejected; see http://mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/lookup?$& {client_addr}')dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl,`relays.mail-abuse.org',` Mail from $&{client_addr} rejected;
see http://work-rss.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?$& {client_addr}')dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl,`dialups.mail-abuse.org',` Mail from dial-up rejected; see

FEATURE(`greet_pause',3000)dnl

Additionaly I use RBL included in spamassassin + DCC + SPF

ordb.org is DEAD since 18th Dec. 2006. Remove it.
