You could run Sendmail in 'deferred only' mode (have a look at the manpage for sendmail), this might work... Can you get named to log the DNS names it's looking up - to see whether it's looking up the name of the client connecting to it, or the system the mail is destined for? (named -q / see the named man page). It's been a while since I did Dial-On-Demand stuff - maybe someone else will step in and be more concise? ;-) Kp Michael Doyle wrote: > > Every time one of the users tries to "send" mail using Eudora, (i.e. each > time there's an incomming mail message to sendmail on port 25) the server > dials the ISP, forcing the client to wait. > > This happens even before the server recieves the addess header (i.e. whether > or not the mail message needs to be routed via the ISP to the outside world) > > Any suggestions as to how I could get sendmail to STOP what ever its > doing (perhaps a DNS lookup?) each time it gets an incomming connection?
