My machine is acting as a dhcp server, router and firewall. I have named it "bonsai" The problem is that when sendmail starts, it take forever to startup. I think it is trying to resolve the name. I have place 192.168.100.1 bonsai bonsai into the hosts file.
Below is a short list of the contents of my maillog file. Is there a way to correct this? I have a bunch of entries just like this.
