I am trying to get Sendmail on my gateway to relay all incoming mail to =
a=20
machine within the internal 192.168.20.0 net and so I am using the =
MAILHUB=20
option of sendmail.

but sendmail complains about dns lookup failed whenever I try to relay =
to the=20
machine dummy.ournet.com even if its listed in the /etc/hosts file. OK, =
I=20
thought, perhaps we need a service switch file, so my =
/etc/service.switch=20
file looks like:

hosts hosts dns

and still the same error..  what can I do to make sendmail recognize =
internal=20
names ( I will still need external names (dns) because I want to be able =
 to=20
send mail out on the net, so disabling the dns alltogether isnt an =
option. I=20
have tried looking in the sendmail FAQ, and yes.. I have looked and =
looked in=20
the  bat-book from O'Reilly )..

Please help me, I am going nuts. ;-)
