> It looks to me like sendmail is trying to do a reverse DNS lookup on my > PPP gateway, which causes my system to dial up the ISP when I receive > mail through UUCP. Is there anything I can put in the ppp.linkdown > that might prevent this from happening? There's some stuff in http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html about this. Your options are limited. The only real way is to create your own DNS and resolve stuff like this for sendmail. You may also want to use ``deferred'' delivery mode in sendmail, but this will screw up any spam filtering you've got, and will also avoid processing incoming mail (which is ok if you're popping it anyway). -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
