I have searched the FAQs to no avail...
We are running sendmail and BIND on a Sol 8 v880 (more info at end of
mail). BIND is configured for local DNS (i.e. no route to outside
world, dummy root server).
When DNS is disabled in /etc/nsswitch.conf, or for mail to the local
domain, mail goes to 'mailhost' just fine. Hoever when DNS is enabled
when sending to a remote domain I get:
# mailx -v -s test john@LunaInternet.net < /dev/null
LunaInternet.net: Name server timeout
john@LunaInternet.net... Transient parse error -- message queued for
future delivery
john@LunaInternet.net... queued
I have tried various combinations of the following options/features to
get sendmail to stop look up the recipients domain, and just relay to
mailhost, but to no avail:
define(`confSERVICE_SWITCH_FILE')
FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
FEATURE(`accept_unqualified_senders')dnl
FEATURE(promiscuous_relay)dnl
How do I get sendmail to just "blindly" forward the mail to mailhost?
Any help appreciated, reply direct, I will sumarise...
