Hi.
I have a smart host defined in my sendmail.cf file:
DSuucp-uudom:foo.bar
On the LAN FBSD uses uucp/rmail with good effect.
Yet when I write mail to a box off the LAN I am unable to pass the
mail to the smart host.
sendmail -q -v:
<addr.com> addr.com: name server timed out
<addr.com> transient parse error...message queued for future delivery
Now, uucp is conf'd to use eth0 (Any TCP - -) in my HDB files.
And local mail is passed no problem via the NIC...
Yet, offsite mail sits in a queue and the future only arrives when
I connect to an ISP via tun0 then mail bound for the local smarthost
is finally handed off - to uucp - for rmail delivery. Humourous but
not practical.
How can I force this box to hand the job to the smart host right
away instead of waiting for my ISP name servers to become available?
