OK - I'm scratching my head on this one.

Box #1: F80 AIX 5.2 ML-1
Box #2: B80 AIX 5.2 ML-2

Box #1 has netsvc.conf and resolv.conf set up to use DNS.
"hosts=local,bind"
Box #2 is the same
Both boxes have sendmail configured.

Box #1, DNS and mail work all the time.

Box #2 when DNS is turned on, internal mail fails, but DNS lookups work.
Box #2 when DNS is turned off, internal mail works, but DNS lookups do not
work.

I copied the sendmail.cf, resolv.conf and netsvc.conf from Box #1 to Box #2
and it still does not work like Box #1.

Any ideas ?
