I have dialup PPP into an ISP, and my DNS settings for the DNS server on the ISP works as I can surf the web fetch my email and such. I've been wanting to setup outgoing email for a while but I haven't had the time (and I still have Win95 on my system so I use that, for now) or knowledge. I stumbled across the FreeBSD FAQ Question #8.19 ("How do I set up mail with a dialup connection to the 'net?") and I figured I would give it a try. My fetchmail works fine so I didn't touch that, I just worked on my sendmail. I followed the directions, compiled the .mc file into a .cf and copied it into the /etc/sendmail.cf file, rebooted and wrote a quick email to myself in 'mail', checked the queue with 'mailq' and it was in there. So I connected up and typed 'sendmail -q'. But I got this message: barbisan@interlog.com ... Host unknown (Name server: 'mail.interlog.com': host not found) My mail server on the ISP is mail.interlog.com and I was sending it to the address: barbisan@interlog.com. The name of my computer is set to 'barbisan.interlog.com'. Here is the .mc file which I compiled, please let me know if there are any problems in it, and/or possible solutions to my problem.
