Hello, I am having trouble getting smail to deliver mail between my local machines. I have a private network setup with a debian box running as the news and mail server.
What I am unable to do is get the debian box (daffy) to send mail to another box (tweety). The /etc/hosts file has the correct ip# and names for all my local machines, but smail tries to do a dns lookup on tweety and when it cannot find one it sends the mail to the smart host, my ISP. How can I get smail to use the /etc/hosts file before trying to do a dns lookup? I know that sendmail will do this, but smail is already up and running and up until know I have had no trouble with it. Thanks A. Paul
