Sendmail on HPUX11i with no DNS

Sendmail on HPUX11i with no DNS

Hi

We have a new HPUX11i server configured with sendmail. Our mail servers are configured to send messages to this server, however they get bounced with:

501 sender domain does not exist
(or similar)

Now I know this is an anti-spam feature which basically ensures the DNS domain can be reverse-lookuped. However this server is hostfile only (ie no DNS server configuration).

How can I configure this server to accept mail from any domain?

Thanks

Or, can I configure it to accept ANY messages if they are sent from a particular host?

ALL messages to this server are sent via a Lotus Notes relay server, so if I can say to sendmail "accept all messages relayed via noteserver".

No bother, answered my own question.

Figured you can create a sendmail.cf using gen_cf which accepts unresolvable domains.
