Probably a sendmail list question but perhaps some one here may know.
We run 4 sun servers as our mail MTA's. 2 internall and 2 externall.
What we would like to do is change the order in which sendmail does it
map processing.
Currently under debug sendmail processes an email from gregk@qld.gov.au
to gregk@iie.qld.gov.au like this:
map_lookup(dequote, gregk) => NOT FOUND (0)
map_lookup(host, iie.qld.gov.au) => iie.qld.gov.au. (0)
map_lookup(mailertable, iie.qld.gov.au) => smtp:[1.2.3.1]:[1.2.3.2] (0)
We would like to change it so that sendmail does the lookup in the
mailertable and upon a find stops looking further and delivers.
The reason is that if you have a DNS issue, it spends a long time trying
to resolve the DNS in the host entry.
Eventually it does time out and go onto the mailertable.
Now when you have 2000+ emails in the queue it takes long time.
If the order cannot be changed can the time it spends on the host lookup
be set ?
Cheers
