I use netscape for email and have my outgoing mail server set to
localhost. I've encountered a bit of wierdness with a list I'm
subscribed. If I send mail to the list while my ISP connection is
active, it bounces with al dns failure from the list server. The error
it provides is that it can not resolve my hostname (denali). If I do
the same thing while my network is down, then exec. sendmail -bp, the
mail goes out fine.
This is the only list this happens on, and I'd like to think the problem
is on their end, but with this inconsistency, I don't see that I can
complain.
Some ignorance maybe displayed here, but the way my machine is defined
in/etc/sysconfig/network is:
HOSTNAME=denali
DOMAINNAME=atlnet.com
Which to me, yields denali.atlnet.com, which should work.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
