Hi,

  I setup a bsd/os server and install sendmail and run into the following problem... I see a lot of bounced messages destinated to a domain that does not have a A record in DNS. ie.

Jul  4 14:24:34 soran sendmail[10067]: OAA10065: OAA10067: DSN: Host unknown (Name server: aol.com: no data known)
...

  What could be the problem?  The sendmail configuration are exactly the same one that I used for SUN Ultra server which I do not have problem with.  So I guess it may be something that is related to DNS that I have not set it up right?  any idea?


regards,
Ken
