If you're happy to run without DNS, there is a setting in sendmail.cf -
FallBackMXHost or similar - which can get around this (although it puts a
few warnings in the log). Otherwise you could do it properly - compile
sendmail without DNS or use the m4 option.
Cheers,
Marty

I tried to do the same thing and failed - I ended up setting up DNS on
our firewall and having the the system use that to do the lookups.
Is it possible to set up a fake named that returns the relay hosts IP
address for every lookup? Or would that break other applications?
