Hi, I've a small "intranet" running with debian. In fact, there are only two machines which are not connected to the internet. I don't use a name server on either of the machines, it's not needed. Addresses are read from /etc/hosts.
I use the latest sendmail package but can't send mail from one computer to the other. I get something like 'Deferred: p4.: Name server : hostname lookup failure". Well, I don't understand what happens. I configured sendmail to not use any name server (FEATURE(nodns)), so there shouldn't be the cause. Address canonification works fine when I turn it on in sendmail.mc, so there's no trouble with /etc/hosts (ping,telnet,ftp and samba are ok as well) Is this a problem with the current sendmail package? I remember correctly, when I used another distribution a year ago, I solved this by recompiling sendmail. Any ideas what could be wrong or what I could try?
