Sendmail has to work in every situation and it can only use data it has access to (i.e. the MX). As for the cache for "frequent destinations", it is difficult to maintain between each invocation. For outbound direction it already reorder per MX then use the connection cache but how to want him to remember that foo.com is just one hop away from bar.de when the MX are not thought for it ? Exploders are more a solution than hacking sendmail I think. Sendmail is already too much complicated :-) -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #2: Sun Oct 22 20:22:48 MET 1995
