Putting the above in /etc/hosts is good insurance, if ever your DNS servers (the addresses of which are specified in /etc/resolv.conf as it happens) go out to lunch. You have to consider the trade offs between always knowing the IP addresses of remote machines when a packet absolutely, positively has to get there when your DNS is down, balanced against the likelihood of those machine changing IP addresses (upgrades, usually). Which means visiting all your servers and updating their hosts files.

RE: Sendmail is sleepy - SOLVED (sort of)
The fact that the FQDN for this box is simply 'larry' is the cause of the problem...? Yes. Sort of. As I understand it, 'larry' isn't enough to get be an entire FQDN. So, really, it's not a FQDN, since 'larry' isn't a top level domain like 'com' or 'org'. But, more simply, yes, that's part of the problem. After much frustration, I deleted every .cf file in /etc/mail, and edited every .mc file to include the line: Define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `howse.no-ip.org') Then ran: # make cf # make install That still didn't work. I remembered that I use a Dynamic DNS service called noip.com to resolve my dynamic ip to 'howse.no-ip.org' on my Linux box, so I changed my hostname from 'larry' to 'larry.howse.no-ip.org'. That fixed it!

Man resolv.conf doesn't say anything about how to do that, and it's never been necessary. I might add that I *think* this behavior began when I upgraded to 4.8-p4. I don't remember it doing this in -p3. BTW, I should add that I have not touched any configuration for sendmail. I have need only for sendmail to send the daily reports to a user account on the same machine, and I check that account via popa3d from my XP box.

RE: Sendmail is sleepy
Hi Charles, I have had this problems on both my FreeBSD boxes as well, and never found a good solution. Ouch! I hate to hear that. Can you confirm my suspicion that this did not occur prior to 4.8-RELEASE-p4? Seems to me that the reason for the p4 patch was something to do with sendmail security. I'm sure it's in the UPDATING file, I'm too lazy to check right now. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
