Re: Newbie needs sendmail/DNS help

["Jonathan D. Dunfee" <jdunfee@acm.org>]

and i just tried this on an openbsd 3.0 box and it worked fine:

cat dummymail | /usr/sbin/sendmail -C/etc/mail/sendmail.cf -X
sendmail-$$.log  -O ResolverOptions=+debug -O DeliveryMode=i -O
LogLevel=98 -O QueueDirectory=/home/jdunfee/mqueue   -t


i forgot the default rc.conf setting gives you the "localhost.cf"
config file. You'll need to use sendmail.cf or submit.cf to actually
see a connection.  I used a QueueDirectory in my home dir so I didn't
have to run it as root.
