[cobalt-users] DNS mapping / changes on RaQ2

["Gunter Loos" <Gunter.Loos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,
because of long delays in sending mail (cf. the reply hereunder) a change
in our DNS configuration is requested. I'm not sure how to do that. (And
a bit unwilling to immediatley change /etc/named.boot; /etc/sendmail.cf or
any of the /etc/named/ files).

Anyone any ideas?

TIA,

Gunter Loos.
