There has GOT to be a way to do this doesn't there?
It takes upwards of 30 minutes now for sendmail to restart while it does
this over and over...
Jun 27 16:46:49 host1 sendmail[21131]: gethostbyaddr(208.167.128.46) failed:

Jun 27 16:47:02 host1 sendmail[21131]: gethostbyaddr(208.167.128.47) failed:

Jun 27 16:48:08 host1 sendmail[21131]: gethostbyaddr(208.167.128.51) failed:

Etc...
I understand what it's doing but right now we're waiting on another ISP to
transfer over authority on those IP addresses so that we can control the PTR
records.
Is there a way to tell sendmail to NOT try to resolve every IP address when
it restarts?
Help!
