Help! I'm sure that there is a logical reason for this, so I am here to ask (sorry if it was already discussed and I missed it...) In sendmail 5.61 (compiled with NAMED_BIND), why does it turn off RES_DEFNAME and RES_DNSRCH in deliver() ? I can see the potential danger, if there is a wildcard MX record, but if there isn't, then users should be able to use partial domain names: in domain a.some.sub.dom.ain, mailing to user@host.b.some.sub.dom.ain user@host.b would match host@b.some.sub.dom.ain, assuming it exists in the namserver. thanks, --david -------- david parter motorola microcomputer division dparter@urb.mcd.mot.com urbana design center ...uiucuxc!mcdurb!dparter (or dparter@xenurus.gould.com)
