I think sendmail will ask DNS for an MX record first because that's how mail is supposed to work - then if that fails it goes for an A record or your hosts file.
Sorry - missed that one .
nslookup cnn.com comes back fast.
if I do nslookup mymachine.domain.com it comes back with error.
How do I make this resolve faster or something. I have no way to make an MX record for this box. its all just local email. it never leaves the box.
