Re: [cobalt-users] RAQ4 How to config sendmail to aviod error messages

This means that you are in compliance with (RFC 1123 - Requirements for
Internet Hosts - Application and Support) where it
says:

"2.2  Using Domain Name Service

Host domain names MUST be translated to IP addresses as described
in Section 6.1.

Applications using domain name services MUST be able to cope with
soft error conditions.  Applications MUST wait a reasonable
interval between successive retries due to a soft error, and MUST
allow for the possibility that network problems may deny service
for hours or even days. "

see this link: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1123.html

Anyway there is something called sendmail.cf (configuration file) .. Open it
and search for "O Timeout.queuewarn=4h"
change it to whatever you want..

at command shell: type mailq to see the messages waiting in your
/var/spool/mqueue/

also check sendmail.org : http://www.sendmail.org/m4/tweaking_config.html
and http://www.coruscant.demon.co.uk/mike/sendmail/
