I have a dial-up connection to my ISP which is currently set up to dial- on-demand (userland PPP). I have read the FAQ section on dial-up mail as well as the configuration pages at http://www.sendmail.org/. Unfortunately, I've been unable to keep sendmail from causing a dial- out on startup. When run as sendmail -d it dials out after the line: getauthinfo: root@localhost is printed to the terminal. The hostname in the sendmail.mc/hosts files is not a real domain name, yota.lr.net does not exist except on my machine. I would like sendmail to only dial-out when there is mail in the queue. Any help/webpages would be helpful. Isaac Waldron waldroni@lr.net P.S.
