You should be able to leave it out. My dyndns.org address isn't in /etc/hosts. Sendmail doesn't need it to resolve. Indeed, a mail domain doesn't have an IP address. Instead it has a set of MX records naming hosts prepared to receive your domain's email. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ If the Earth is the size of a pea in New York, then the Sun is a beachball 50m away, Pluto is 2km away, and the next nearest star is in Tokyo. Now shrink Pluto's orbit into a coffee cup; then our Milky Way Galaxy fills North America. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
