Yep, I run a cache-only name server which forwards all queries to my ISP's name servers. > Even with sendmail just queuing mail, its still tries to talk to the nameserver > to verify mail address.

I used to have a magic incantation in sendmail.cf that stopped it doing this, but I've lost it now and I don't have the "bat book" here to look it up - it just involved changing a line under Rule 96 and moving it slightly further down, as I recall. Are there any sendmail gurus who can fill in the gap here? -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
