The TUNING file in the sendmail directory of recent sendmail versions is well worth reading. I find it simplest to put the following in my sendmail mc file: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Name=MTA') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`address=localhost, Port=24, Name=NCMSA, M=EC') And then have mailman deliver to localhost, port 24. Normally, sendmail will attempt to canonify the hostnames of each address Mailman submits to it--this requires a DNS lookup. The 'C' in the M (Modifier) option disables canonification. This is safe to do for mail injected by Mailman, though it is not something I would recommend for incoming mail. Port 24 is reserved for private mail systems so it seems like a good fit. And it's only listening on localhost anyway. - todd ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
