My /etc/mail/m4/dialup.m4 contained: define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached')dnl
This seems to end up within the HELO/EHLO greeting for sent messages, breaking RFC2821 . This resulted in my server ( 80.68.90.112 ) getting a cbl.abuseat.org blacklisting which was picked up by zen.spamhaus.org causing my outgoing mail to be blocked. Changing the error message to my valid domain name: copsewood.net seems to have fixed the problem. However, every time Sendmail gets upgraded I will have to reapply my local patch until this bug is fixed. Isn't there a better message Sendmail can use as the default, or wouldn't it work better for sendmail or the Debian sendmail installation script to try to figure out the domain name, e.g. using the hostname command ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
