Sendmail and DNS are two services that need to use recursive lookups.
So the ipaddress of the server at least should be allowed recursion

Gerald,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you want to put localhost or 127.0.0.1 for Sendmail and DNS or would you just want to use the regular IP address of the server? Is there a difference? Please clarify. Thanks.
