Hi,
I'm sorry I'm always asking questions, maybe some day....
I am setting up a network powered by Samba. Am using Redhat 5.1 kernel
2.0.35 as the server. Sendmail 8.8.x.
My problem is that everytime an email is sent from one of the clients
(Win95) to the server to be queued and later sent to my ISP, the server
pauses for about 2 mins before accepting the mail. My guess is that it is
trying to resolve the address and decide where to send it. Obviously it is
not able to do so. How do I stop this?
Another question-- At home since my father prefers the simplicity of Win95
(yechch) we use Eudora Light to handle our messages. Eudora Light has a
facility to download mail using a shell account also, a simple script is
needed to logon to the ISP to do this. I like this feature as our ISP's PPP
connection is overloaded with traffic and we can get logged off from the
connection at the drop of a hat. However the shell connection is quite
reliable. My question is how can I configure fetchmail and sendmail to do
the same in our Linux server?
Thanks,
Ishaaq Chandy
