Hi and welcome back everybody; I have a sendmail install on one of my machines that does nothing but forward all mail to a central mail hub (mail-hub.fastlax.com); sendmail-8.9.3 on FreeBSD-3.3-STABLE. in sendmail.cf: --------------- Fw/etc/sendmail.cw # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSmail-hub.fastlax.com # Who I masquerade as (null for no masquerade) DMfastlax.com #Who gets all local email traffic DHmail-hub.$m everything seems to work 'OK' i.e mail is being sent and received nothing gets lost but in /var/log/maillog I see error: Sendmail[11233] to=danielb@fastlax.com, ... relay=mail-hub.fastlax.com., stat=deferred: Name server: mail-hub.fastlax.com: host name lookup failure This can't be because the deferred mail has been sent and show-up in my mailbox and the host mail-hub.fastlax.com exists! nslookup ans telnet to port 25. Why do I keep getting this error messages. Sendmail sucks-up sooo much administrative time it is not funny!
