/etc/resolv.conf and sendmail

[Philippe]

Hi Alexander,

OK this after reboot, and of course connected to my ISP. My ISP gives me
DNS automatically.

Here it is :

[root at P4 root]# echo '/map host fcomfrench.com.' | sendmail -bt -d8.8
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
> map_lookup: host (fcomfrench.com.) dns_getcanonname(fcomfrench.com.,
trymx=1)
dns_getcanonname: trying fcomfrench.com. (AAAA)
        NO: errno=0, h_errno=4
dns_getcanonname: trying fcomfrench.com. (A)
        YES
dns_getcanonname: fcomfrench.com
returns fcomfrench.com. (0)

Here it is :

Here my 2 main config files now after slight changes but which does not
fix the problem.

[root at P4 root]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 203.146.237.237
nameserver 203.146.237.222

[root at P4 root]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.

Thanks a lot, I do appreciate what you are doing here, along with Gene.

Regards,

Philippe
