I hoped that noconnonify and nodns as part of senmail.mc file would
cause sendmail not to do lookups.

Apparently not... I have fetchmail run through a ssh tunnel from my
laptop to a parent machine (on local network) and collect from a user
spool on that parent. So don't really want DNS lookups etc being done
since the fetching might be done while offline.

But watching the action in trafshow I see my ISP nameserver is being
contacted for every message.   If I shut down the DSL link to the
internet fetchmail/sendmail stop in there tracks.

How can I set this up using sendmail where no lookups are done?
