When mail is sent using the command line or sendmail -v, mail is sent correctly. When netscape connects to sendmail over localhost, all messages are queued, but never sent until one runs sendmail -q, at which point they are properly sent on their way. When FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains') is commented out, the problem disappears. When one connects to sendmail via port 25, and runs commands by hand, when one gives the RCPT myname@anothermachine.domain.name command, it responds that the recipient is ok, and then "will queue". When the feature (?) is turned off, then everything works as it should (at least as I expect it should -- mail is sent). It is as if it hasn't yet check to see if it can resolve the recipient domain when the message is accepted and queued for later delivery, yet if the message is not accepted at this point, sendmail goes on to find that the domain can in fact be resolved and all is well.
I can't reproduce this here. It sounds strange that this problem goes away when disablen accept_unresolvable_domains. Can you forward me a complete email that is failing/working? Seems to work fine for me here. Thanks, Florian La Roche
Looks all fine to me. Please re-open if you still think sendmail is doing something wrong here. Thanks, Florian La Roche
