When I try to send mail ( sendmail -v name@hostname) it sayes: name@hostname... Deffered: Name server: hostname: host name lookup failure It is strange . If I do $nslookup hostname all looks fine and name server returns me proper address. I have tryed to send mail by $telnet hostname 25 ... ... all works fine and post delivered. I use the same sendmail.cf file as for FreeBSD1.1R where sendmail works well. I use SLIP connection to rest of net. Can you help me? Thanks. -- Telegin K.E.
