AFAIK there are 2 different ways to do this with sendmail alone, a third could be condifered by way of using named. Sendmail can be configured to not use a dns by way of the M4 configuration files, that is a way i have never tryed. The way i find the easiest is to obtain the sendmail sources for the version one has and recompile them after editing conf.h. In the src directory of sendmail.8.9.3 on line 92 change the 1 to a 0, cd .. and type make. after the compile has finished type make install. kill sendmail first otherwise it possably wont install and you will need to be root to do it. If you wish to see how it is done via the m4 configuration files you can find the answer in the archives of the linux-hams mailing list, this was disscussed a while ago. http://hes.iki.fi/archive/linux-hams/ There is a nice search engine there to use. > > Thanks, > > Dan. > > > > > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in > the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
