Mantra Online has a hassle - it uses dynamic DNS so that your DNS is going
to be changing over a period of time - especially if you are connected
during a long session.
I recommend that you put VSNL / Satyam's DNS hosts in your /etc/resolv.conf
to avoid this problem.
Also, there is an option in /etc/sendmail.mc which should be uncommented for
boxes which don't have 24*7 DNS (like when you're connected using a dialup).
If it is commented out, uncomment it and regenerate sendmail.cf
(instructions in the sendmail.mc file)
Lastly, set the DS flag in sendmail.cf to the ip number of the mantraonline
smtp server :)
