When we first time installed our site - we install sendmail 8.8.5 from
Debian distribution. As told in other letter - in that moment we have only
uucp connection with silk.org and I spend long time trying config sendmail
without DNS. Advices from silk.org were to recompile sendmail but I was
not experience. As result - I change sendmail to smail 3.2. All this time
it work very fine for this situation. I want to say that "nocanonify"
did'nt give results. So I think that binary distributions of sendmail have
precompiled configurations.

/usr/lib/sendmail-cf/README:
nodns We aren't running DNS at our site (for example,
we are UUCP-only connected). It's hard to consider
this a "feature", but hey, it had to go somewhere.
Actually, as of 8.7 this is a no-op -- remove "dns" from
the hosts service switch entry instead.
I test this and this - no res. I install 8.8.8 and recompile it with DNS
ENABLED - it working well.

P.S. Anyway - sendmail WILL start diald connection when it working in
background mode and must deliver all mail via smtp - because it MUST KNOW
how deliver messages. Alt. - to start sendmail in "d" mode so it will put
all mail in /var/spool/mqueue without delivering until "sendmail -q" will
started.
