I'm running a small, private network which has part time access to the
Internet.  I'm using sendmail to queue mail, but whenever I'm not connected,
sendmail waits until the BIND name server says "nope, can't find that name"
and then sendmail queues the mail.

What I'd like to be able to do is tell sendmail to unconditionally accept
the mail, and then try and send it, rather than making the user wait for
over a minute while sendmail tries to resolve the To: address.

Can this be done?  I've tried telling sendmail there's no DNS server (using
the line FEATURE(nodns), but it still does it's little thing.

For reference, I'm using sendmail 8.6.12, kernel 2.0.35, and BIND 4.9.3-BETA9.
