There is another way, from sendmail/README: +---------------------+ | DNS/RESOLVER ISSUES | +---------------------+ ... When attempting to canonify a hostname, some broken name servers will return SERVFAIL (a temporary failure) on T_AAAA (IPv6) lookups. If you want to excuse this behavior, include WorkAroundBrokenAAAA in ResolverOptions. However, instead, we recommend catching the problem and reporting it to the name server administrator so we can rid the world of broken name servers.
