[comp.mail.sendmail] Simple

TEMNGT23@ysub.ysu.edu (Lou Anschuetz) (10/21/90)

While I know I should be using 5.65 I am on an NCR tower with SysV
and the installation procedure for 5.65 is very daunting.  In any
case, I need to do something that I think should be simple, and that
is to let another host do mail name resolution.  That is, if my
sendmail cannot resolve the name, I simply want to pass it along
to another host (I am on yfn.ysu.edu and wish to pass mail on to
the ysub.ysu.edu mailer which is smarter than mine...).  I am not
running named, but instead let two other machines on our network
do name resolution.  I am sure that the answer is some statement
down in the code where it attempts to have named resolve the name,
but my lack of skill makes it impossible for me to figure out what
to do.  Any help (I'm groveling here) would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
