If you mean mailsvr.goatelecom.com, it is an anonymous, wide-open relay. 8.9.3
but with a .cf file version 1.1.4.2/date-stamp (I think this is generated by an
autoconf tool on compaq / dec alpha boxes that seems to be even worse than
linuxconf).

If you are using my .mc file, you have turned off DNS lookups as well ... take
a look at /etc/service.switch (or /etc/mail/service.switch)... there's a line
"hosts" there which has just "files". Modify it to "dns, files"

Yes. If you edit sendmail.cf and put a line
#DS goatelecom.com
DS mail.satyam.net.in
uncomment whichever ISP you are dialling out from (and comment out the other).
Then restart sendmail
