Stopping while sendmail loads usually means that you have (temporary, or more permanent) problems with your DNS setup. One solution to this is to try and correct and DNS problems you might have. Another solution is to make sendmail accept unresolvable domains and users. On the freebsd box I have at home, which uses dialup to send mail and other things, I use in my sendmail master-config file the following: FEATURE(`accept_unqualified_senders')dnl FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl and it does not stop while booting. Setting up a caching named, might also help, but it's more difficult that just regenerating your sendmail.cf with these features enabled. - giorgos keramidas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
