Help! my Sendmail has quit working, here is the output of sendmail -q -v
-d9:
getauthinfo: alistair@localhost
Running PAA00878 (sequence 1 of 5)
host_map_lookup(yahoo.com) => yahoo.com
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Deferred: Name server: smtp.caribsurf.com: host
name lookup failure
(the other 4 also fail)
Some background: sendmail version 8.9.3.1, on RH 6.1
The local ISP smart-host server is smtp.caribsurf.com, which I can ping
successfully.
I work off-line and use sendmail -q and fetchmail to send and retrieve
mail when connected.
This all worked until the end of February (Coincidence or Y2K?). Now
only fetchmail works.
I can telnet to smtp.caribsurf.com port 25 and do a HELO etc.
Also Netscape mail works, and it uses the same server to send mail.
Here is the /etc/sendmail.mc file:
divert(-1)
dnl This is the macro config file used to generate the /etc/sendmail.cf
dnl file. If you modify thei file you will have to regenerate the
dnl /etc/sendmail.cf by running this macro config through the m4
dnl preprocessor:
dnl
dnl m4 /etc/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
dnl
dnl You will need to have the sendmail-cf package installed for this to
dnl work.

I also de-installed and re-installed sendmail from the RH 6.1 CD, and it
still doesn't work.
What else can I do?
