    It does not offer one for my kind of connection.

    Alexander, I am sure your knowledge of Linux is A LOT better than mine,
    but I must really insist on 2 things.

    1 - After restarting sendmail, I have no more problems until the next
    boot, and this can be for weeks.

    2 - My friend here in Chiangmai has the same ISP, the same french
    provider for his website, the same connection package, the same
    mainboard and processor and the same OS and he has no problem. So what
    is the difference between him and me ? some...

    * first : its /etc/resolv.conf has only 2 line, with the 2 nameservers
    of my ISP, and is empty before connection. Mine has (had) "search AAA"
    in the first line.

    * second : he did not install sendmail.cf, and if I remember that that
    was the reason why RH9 gave me the same problem at the beginning, until
    getting rid of sendmail.cf package... and reinstall, I dont know.

    * he uses sendmail and I am using smtp in evolution to send the mail.

    I dont know why, but I think that the solution is around here. I cannot
    explain why, really, and I read carefully every answer.

    I uninstalled sendmail.cf but the pb is still here. Maybe my sendmail.cf
    is not clear... I can uninstall sendmail and install it again.

    I really appreciate your time on my problem even if it is not fixed. A
    frankly good thanks ;-)

    Philippe
