Sendmail: "Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery"
Hi,
I am running Redhat 9 and the latest version of sendmail on PC on my local DSL LAN.
Sendmail refuses to work for me.
When I try and send email from the command line I get the following in the mailq
Quote:
[root@linux2 mail]# sendmail -v -d8.32 -qI | more
Running /var/spool/mqueue/hB9AJhKp005430 (sequence 1 of 300)
dns_getcanonname(cpfc.org, trymx=1)
dns_getcanonname: trying cpfc.org. (AAAA)
NO: errno=110, h_errno=2
cpfc.org: Name server timeout
dave@cpfc.org... Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery
Obviously my DNS is set up on my external domain @ cpfc.org but Sendmail can't resolve it.
The machine can resolve all DNS quite happily
