sendmail problem

[ron jochems]

Hello dear Hams,   I have a little question, wich is about sending mail over the ax25 networks. My local bbs is offering smtp mail, and i would like to get attached with it, with my own sendmail-server running on my packet-station.   I have read multiple documents, faq's etc. but i am having a problem , wich i cannot solve. Probably someone could give me some hints or tips, i would really like to get it to work...     the problem is as follows :   I have an login-acount on my local bbs for the telnet sessions. My local mail on that host is working all ok. I have configured my /etc/sendmail according the howto's and the local mail runs all fine on my host. BUT, when trying to adress mail to the local bbs, there are some errors found by the sendmail deamon. It looks like some host-name resolution, but i have no clue what is is about. I will include the errors from sendmail -bp   pd1acf:/var/log#asendmail -bp                 Mail Queue (1 request) --Q-ID-- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient------------ WAA02937        5 Mon Apr  3 22:05 root                  (host map: lookup (pe1mvx.ampr.org): deferred)                                    [EMAIL PROTECTED] pd1acf:/var/log#                                                                   This looks like my system does not know anything about my local bbs (pe1mvx), although ping's telnet's etc are working via the hostname.   Also here are some errors from /var/log/messages     pd1acf:/var/log# cat messages Apr  4 11:30:52 pd1acf sendmail[3671]: LAA03671: from=root, size=45, class=0, pri=30045, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=root@localhost Apr  4 11:30:52 pd1acf sendmail[3671]: LAA03671: [EMAIL PROTECTED], delay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, stat=queued pd1acf:/var/log#                                                                     All this is not making real sense to me, and i am a little stuck with this. I have understood from someone that this could have to do something with the new sendmail version, which is about securety related configurations, although i don't have the feeling this is my problem. At the moment i am running a very simple slackware 7.0 installation, with no special things installed. Only scc & ax25 related software. I have NO nameserver running, this should not be necesarry on our packet-radio networks..( at least locally)   I also have read that there is an option for the sendmail to compile with an option without DNS, but my neighbour ham with the same release (slackware7.0) says he did'nt do that at all.. He just used the standard included sendmail.cf       Maybe someone starts laughin' and sees my problem here, please give me some hints, i'd really appreciate it.   Regards,   Ron Jochems PD1ACF The Netherlands
