Probably. But (from orig post): Domain Name: ATHOME.NET Status: clientTransferProhibited Updated Date: 02-apr-2007 Creation Date: 30-nov-1999 Expiration Date: 30-nov-2015 whois shows an update yesterday and creation 8-years ago. Presumably, something happened based on the update... >Just change your /etc/hosts file, you can use a domain suffix that does not >exist for instance. Yes -- that works. I'd changed .net to .nzt and localhost works again. I've spent the last couple hours trying to get sendmail to not do a DNS for specified-local addresses. Lots of google-info, but none that directly works. Much to be assimilated -- I'm pretty sure there's a sendmail solution too. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
