I've reverted to sending all mail via sendmail (the default
configuration), and I'll see if the nodns/nocanonify FEATUREs work
(another day, when I've got the patience to test it properly,
chase the issues arising, etc).
Actually, I'm rather pessimistic about this, as a quick look in
http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#nodns
says "as of 8.7 this is a no-op". Anyway, I'll give it a try
another day.
You could go with FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains'), which may
help. The DNS timeouts may also be worth tweaking, though I don't know
how to do that via the .mc file. If you search for "Timeout.resolver"
in sendmail.cf that'll give you a start.
Certainly moving away from sendmail is enticing, but I'm sure it'll be
painful.
Actually, replacing your IMAP/POP server should be fairly painless - it
was for me. If your system is using the UWash IMAP server migrating to
the mbx format is trivial - use the tools to create ~/INBOX as an mbx
format file (see the mailutil command).
It's odd. Oh, well. Seems I'm on the boundary here.
Hey, somebody has to be :)
PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list. Email sent directly to me may
be ignored utterly.
