I have ahd a problem with sendmail and a dynamic ip as well. I don't have a
dynamic ip anymore and now have a static. But the problem was solved by a
clever lil hack to the dns server wich actualy grabs the current ip from
ifconfig and writes the dns files for host lookup and reverse lookup dynamicly
on connect then restarts the dns server, if anyone would like a copy of my
script I would be more than happy to post it.
also you have to make sure that you have in the /etc/mail/sendmail.?? files set
up as under 6.1 it seems to be have moved to there. and is no longer looking in
the /etc/sendmail files. using linuxconf I descovered this. And make sure that
you have the sendmail.cf configured so that it has your domain that is readable
by the internet plus the actual machine name of your system for example I have
darkangel.wolvesden.dhs.org and wolvesden.dhs.org.
hope this helps.
