  Hi,

 I have installed FreeBSD1.1.5.1 recently and
 all goes well except sendmail.
 When I try to send mail ( sendmail -v name@hostname)
 it sayes:
   name@hostname... Deffered: Name server: hostname: host name lookup failure

 It is strange . If I do

  $nslookup hostname

 all looks fine and name server returns me proper address.
 I have tryed to send mail by

 $telnet hostname 25
 ...
 ...

 all works fine and post delivered.

 I use the same sendmail.cf file as for FreeBSD1.1R where
 sendmail works well.
 I use SLIP connection to rest of net.

 Can you help me?

 Thanks.
