Re: [cobalt-developers] Sendmail on a RAQ3 (RESOLVED)

[Ed Wrenbeck <edwrenbeck@xxxxxxxxx>]

All,

Another individual pointed out that my nameservers in
the resolv.conf file were not pointed at the correct
ip addresses. After updating that file, it appears
that I am back in business. I'm still not sure how the
mail routing was functioning previously.

Thank you all for your time and assistance. I hope to
be able to provide some service to the group in the
future, once I learn more about the Cobalt
environment.

Ed.
