    Hi,

    I am trying to configure offline mail server with fetchmail and
    sendmail. I don't want my sendmail to lookup for domain name and send
    mail. i.e regardless of any address, I just want my sendmail to
    forward all my queued mail to my ISP mail server. On our behalf my
    ISP mail server will lookup for domain name and send mail to
    receiver.

    If I remove name server from /etc/resolv.conf then sendmail stops
    working. How can I make my sendmail not look for nameserver and just
    transfer my queued emails to my ISP mail server like MUA does.

    With Regards
    Nabin Limbu
