Hi,
When I'm at home with my FreeBSD 5.4 and connected through an ISDN line with my company I've no DNS but I want to send e-mail as well; I've configured a submit.mc and made the submit.cf saying that e-mail should just go without DNS to some SMART_HOST ('proxy') and removed 'dns' from the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, because it is described that way in: http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html nodns If you aren't running DNS at your site (for example, you are UUCP-only connected). It's hard to consider this a "feature", but hey, it had to go somewhere. Actually, as of 8.7 this is a no-op -- remove "dns" from the hosts service switch entry instead. Here are my files: $ fgrep proxy /etc/hosts 10.10.10.1 proxy nntp $ ls -l /etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 24 sep 11:10 /etc/resolv.conf $ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf group: compat group_compat: nis hosts: files networks: files passwd: compat passwd_compat: nis shells: files But the sendmail can't resolve 'proxy' to 10.10.10.1 from the /etc/hosts file: $ sendmail -v -t < tm [EMAIL PROTECTED] Deferred: Name server: proxy: host name lookup failure $ ping proxy PING proxy (10.10.10.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=253 time=42.540 ms 64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=253 time=42.602 ms It also does not work too, if I put 10.10.10.1 in the submit.cf DS10.10.10.1 I'm missing something?
