[Mailman-Users] MM FAQ/Sendmail question...

[Jon Carnes]

>From the Sendmail website:
  http://www.sendmail.org/faq

Starting with version 8.9, it may help to include the following in your .mc
file:
  FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
  FEATURE(`accept_unqualified_senders')dnl

Other than that, Sendmail uses the values from /etc/nsswitch.conf for hosts
lookups.
