(2.2.2-RELEASE) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm running a 2.2.2-RELEASE system. Pretty stock, i.e no major changes made by me. I'm running the standard sendmail.cf file that is distributed with it. I've got iijppp (aka usermode PPP) set up and working correctly in demand dialing mode (ppp -auto). I'm also running a nameserver on this machine. Whenever I send mail using sendmail, EVEN IF THE MAIL IS SENT TO SOMEONE LOCAL TO MY MACHINE, it always brings up my ppp link. I find this somewhat annoying, is there any way to fix it? (tweaking sendmail.cf, etc.?) If so I would gladly appreciate any help that you could offer. Thanks for your assistance!
