The file /etc/resolve.conf would not work for me , /etc/resolv.conf
did work.

     The 'domain'  string is appended to any name not specified as an IP

All right, lets Talk.

I have a corporate network with a DNS.
I therefore made a file, /etc/resolve.conf, with the following contents...
nameserver 10.81.1.28
nameserver 10.202.1.35
domain lt.cliffsnet.com

I then edited file, /etc/nsswitch.conf, with dns added to the hosts line...
hosts:      files dns

I can now email from my Foxboro/Sun Unix machines to an intranet account.
However, I cannot email back, nor can I email to the internet.

I looking to learn more
