hi there,
I am VERY stuck. I have been trying to get this smart_host to work on my
fBSD 4.7 but nothing seems to work. I have a dial-up link and I want
sendmail to do mail transfer only when the link is up and from a cron job.
here is my .mc
===========================
VERSIONID(`$FreeBSD: src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc,v 1.10.2.16 2002/05/22
16:39:14
gshapiro Exp $')
OSTYPE(freebsd4)
FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o -T<TMPF> /etc/mail/access')
FEATURE(local_lmtp)
define(`SMART_HOST', `smarthost.com')
MAILER(local)
MAILER(smtp)
=============================
unfortunately if I run sendmail -bp here is what I get
================================
-----Q-ID----- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient-------

h3RHQn8p000219 2 Sun Apr 27 17:26 <xxxx@xxxxx.com>
(host map: lookup (yahoo.com): deferred)
<xxxxx@yahoo.com>
Total requests: 1
================================
it is trying to lookup yahoo.com and not send it through my smarthost.com -
why? what am I doing wrong?
and also when I send mail to the server it immediately tries to relay the
message and my MUA hangs - why? how can I get sendmail to put everything in
the queue and wait for a command in order to deliver the msgs to the
smarthost.com?
I have remove all -q from the sendmail flags in my rc.conf
==============================
sendmail_enable="yes"
sendmail_flags="-L sm-mta -bd"
==============================
Thanx
DJ Boris
