	That would probably be a DNS timeout while trying to send email

	You can symlink across, or put /tmp on mfs if you have swap space
	to spare:

	Something like the following in /etc/fstab:

/dev/wd0b               /tmp            mfs     rw,-s262144             0 0

	(That gives a 128MB /tmp on swap)
