Good for sendmail
Authored by: geoffsaulnier on Feb 11, '02 06:30:50AM

Yep - Good tip. I use Demon as an ISP here in the UK. They give you a node which means that every user gets an email address in that domain that is like geoff@birchwoode.demon.co.uk or whoever@birchwoode.demon.co.uk

Sendmail wouldn't download mail from there properly because, if it started with the box, there was no resolv.conf so it couldn't resolve its address and couldn't figure out how to talk to Demon's DNS servers when I connected using PPP.

Now, I start sendmail with ip-up and stop it with ip-down and it works great!!

Cheers,
Geoff.
