Hi,

We have a datacenter which do not have access to the internet.....
There is only a on-way to the email-relay server in the DMZ....
So from outside we cannot receive any mail... THAT is ok with us !!!!!

Our DNS is a secondary DNS which is connected to another DNS server in
an other Datacenter...
But when the line is broken, between those 2 datacenters, sendmail
refuse to send mail, because he cann't check his from or to
adresses....

And all we want , that sendmail does not check any DNS entries....
Just relay (or send), and don't check!!!!

The real checks are done by the DMZ-email-relay server!!!!

Greetings
Peter
