I don't know whether this belongs in the sendmail, BIND or FreeBSD department. I inherited a 2.2.5-R machine which I can't upgrade at the present. Along with the antique OS, I got an unsecured sendmail 8.8.7 installation getting slammed by spammers. After installing sendmail 8.11.2, I ended up getting the following puzzling events (testing here by sending to myself from an outside machine): Jan 31 04:36:14 xxxx sendmail[18479]: f0VAaEY18477: to=<alex@wnm.net>, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=30265, relay=earth.wnm.net., dsn=5.1.2, stat=Host unknown (Name server: earth.wnm.net.: host not found) It finds the destination MX but can't look up the corresponding A record (or for any connection as a matter of fact). Everything else on the machine is working as before; switching back to 8.8.7 eliminates the problem. Hints, solutions or clues appreciated. -ac -- ============================================================== Alex Charalabidis (AC8139) 5050 Poplar Ave, Ste 170 System Administrator Memphis, TN 38157 WebNet Memphis (901) 432 6000 Author, The Book of IRC http://www.bookofirc.com/ ============================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
