Fetchmail/Sendmail problem

[Holmes, Steve]

That's another incident of nameservers not resolving braille.uwo.ca
properly.  I wonder what's going on here.  One tends to use the DNS issued
by the ISP and if that's not reliable then the academic bar is thus raised
for us linux users to build a nameserver of our own.

Hi Mike

First thing that should be fixed is you getting a reasonable
nameserver.  This should clear up the problems.  You really don't want to
change much in the way of sendmail configuration because you don't want to
open yourself up as a relay for spam.
