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: name server timed out 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? ------- North Richmond Community Mental Health Center ------- Thomas Good MIS Coordinator Vital Signs: tomg@ { admin | q8 } .nrnet.org Phone: 718-354-5528 Fax: 718-354-5056 /* Member: Computer Professionals For Social Responsibility */ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
