Sendmail uses whatever address resolution mechanisms you have setup on the host (nsswitch.conf). The [ad.dr.es.s] idiom tells sendmail not to do MX resolution on the host in brackets.
Right you are. My statement was a little inaccurate in that if you don't use the MX, you aren't using DNS for the normal delivery to a domain. Maybe I'm misreading my maillog. My nsswitch.conf has "files, dns" in it, so it should be reading "hosts". The log entry indicates using the public address for the relay, but this is for the delivery of the message. MD may be doing something different during the check of valid users. I doubt it though.
Anyway, based on my previous example of how I am using this subroutine, what should I put into my $relay variable to make it use the address? Or better yet, where does it tell me what I am using when this is performed?
Thanks for the help. Steve
