I know that there are about a million different ways for me to have stuffed this up myself, so please be gentle. That other post reminds me about this because we have broken (i.e. MS) DNS servers. The 4.10 boxes we have all deliver okay though. I'm wondering if WorkAroundBrokenAAAA is okay in 5-STABLE. Anyway I've done side by side comparisons of two servers. They look similar up to the point where the 4.x server opens a network connection and gets the 220 reply. The 5 box apparently does nothing. Using tcpdump, It looks like the A request is never sent, so there's no connection opened. If I run #echo test | sendmail -Am -v -d16.10 root on the 4.10 box the output includes makeconnection: WorkAroundBrokenAAAA: Trying AF_INET lookup (AF_INET6 failed) makeconnection (mail.lan.cardinalnewman.coventry.sch.uk. [10.248.192.10].25 (2)) makeconnection: fd=7 My workstation at home (with 4.10 DNS) shows makeconnection (alpha.private.lan. [192.168.0.2].25 (2)) makeconnection: fd=7 but the 5.3 box at work shows no makeconnection output at all. #uname -a FreeBSD client.lan.cardinalnewman.coventry.sch.uk 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #8: Thu Dec 23 00:45:38 GMT 2004 ict@client.lan.cardinalnewman.coventry.sch.uk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Box was built Aug 2nd and updated from source. stock sendmail AFAIR; rebuilding everything just in case.
