Hi, has anyone successfully use sendmail over term connection ? I have made
the changes to /etc/sendmail.cf as suggested in the Term.HOWTO file as below :

Sorry for the long extracts, but I want to show exactly where those lines are
added.
Then I did :
tredir 25 latcs1.lat.oz.au:25
where latcs1.lat.oz.au is the remote host, and restart sendmail :
kill <sendmail_pid>
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h
When I send a mail to my own account on latcs1, the following is found in
/var/spool/mqueue/qfVAA04726.

What does the Name server timeout mean ? I don't run DNS on my FreeBSD, is
it what it is complaining ? Also, in /etc/sendmail.cf, can I say
DR localhost
CR localhost
instead of the full IP address I gave to me box, ie pc1.lespoir.oz.au ?
Thanks in advance, and email replies please.
