I get the following error; May 5 01:28:38 d sendmail[506]: gethostbyaddr(192.168.1.1) failed: 1 May 5 01:29:18 d sendmail[506]: gethostbyaddr(216.191.60.67) failed: 2 May 5 01:29:18 d sendmail[506]: daemon invoked without full pathname; kill -1 won't work May 5 01:29:18 d sendmail[514]: starting daemon (8.11.3): SMTP+queueing@00:30:0 I know I can put an entry in /etc/hosts for the 192.168.1.1 part, but I can't for the other because I have a dial-up connection, and each time I connect I get a new IP. In addition, while sendmail will still send, it slows down the send as it trys, and fails, to lookup these IP's each time. The only possibility I can think of is writing a small script to look up the IP I'm operating on, and enter it in the /etc/hosts file each time I connect. Any ideas how I can deal with this? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
