I am having an odd problem with sendmail on a FreeBSD 5.3 Beta2 box that has been updated from 5.2.1. Here is the problem. I have a .forward set up for root that sends the mail from the periodic scripts on to a "real" account. Right now it doesn't work. It errors out with the following message from mailq: Deferred: Name server: mail.mailserver.com.: host name lookup failure What is odd is this .forward worked before I updated the box to 5.3, and the same account and setup still works for the other 3 unix boxes in the basement. If I change the .forward on the broken box to point to my gmail account the mail goes right through. Any ideas out there on what might have changed with sendmail between 5.2.1 and 5.3 Beta2? -Will
