Hey folks. Kinda an urgent one, so please forgive the slightly OT question. In my experience, questions are answered more quickly here (and often more accurately) than on many of the other forums available for Sendmail. I am running sendmail on FreeBSD 4.4 RELEASE, and have suddenly started getting messages in my maillog to the following effect: Dec 30 09:31:28 keyslapper sendmail[69636]: fBU1CSm67514: to=<webmaster@myserver.net>, delay=13:19:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=3031024, relay=smtp.ne.mediaone.net. [24.147.1.144], dsn=4.1.8, stat=Deferred: 451 4.1.8 <webmaster@myserver.net>... Domain of sender address webmaster@myserver.net does not resolve Dec 30 09:31:28 keyslapper sendmail[69636]: fBU1CSm67514: to=<administrator@ndmls01.mediaone.net>, delay=13:19:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=3031024, relay=smtp.ne.mediaone.net. [24.147.1.144], dsn=4.1.8, stat=Deferred: 451 4.1.8 <webmaster@myserver.net>... Domain of sender address webmaster@myserver.net does not resolve Sorry about the long lines. Anyway, I have an idea where these are coming from, and they carry a potential financial impact if I can't recieve them. They are automatic mailings so simply emailing someone to fix things may not suffice. Unfortunately the financial impact will be mine, so I'm not sure I want to take any unnecessary chances. The messages are going to be deferred for another day or two (I think) then they will be dropped. I have tried to configure sendmail to accept unresolvable domains with the following: define(`confBIND_OPTS',`-DNSRCH -DEFNAMES') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`M=u') FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains') FEATURE(`accept_unqualified_senders') These were gathered from reading the sendmail README. They should direct Sendmail to accept mail from unresolvable domains, and mail from unqualified senders, but they don't seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks!
