I have been running it since early '98 (originally using 2.2.5R with user PPP and *no* sendmail) with considerable success. Recent changes are the migration from user PPP to PPPD a couple of weeks ago, for no good reason that I can see :) and enabling sendmail yesterday. Prior to yesterday incoming SMTP mail was delivered directly to our internal mail hub using the -redirect_port option of natd, since I now have two internal mail hubs, I am using sendmail (8.8.8/8.8.8) with it's mailertable. I have two questions: 1) Since yesterday, I have started to notice the above message from natd. Is it benign and simply reflecting the increased DNS traffic over the link due to sendmail? Or is there a problem? 2) Is sendmail supposed to convert mailertable -> mailertable.db itself, because I ended up having to do it manually. Perhaps it's a version thing??? Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
