I'm using MH (6.8.3) on a laptop that is set up to do demand dial PPP
to connect to our corporate network. I'm trying to prevent the PPP
link from coming up whenever I send a piece of mail to a domain that
my local DNS does not have a copy of.
I've configured sendmail on this system to defer any processing of
mail until a queue run. This prevents SMTP from doing spontaneous DNS
queries. But MH is verifying hostnames when sending mail causing the
DNS queries to bring up the link.
I understand that I should be able to disable this ``feature'' by
compiling MH with the DUMB option. Does anyone have any experience
doing this? I hate to have to recompile MH for one system and would
consider modifying uip/post.c and sbr/addrsbr.c to disable this at run
time.
Thanks.
