#280 — sendmail dns after fetchmail and procmail

Hi,

I've configured fetchmail to access remote mail servers with 'no dns' 
option enabled.
In fetchmailrc I define: 'mda "/usr/bin/procmail -m .procmailrc -d %T"'
Procmail should distribute mail to my '~/Mail' folder according to some 
rules.

Problem is that many times, fetchmail can't flush mail because sendmail 
does not resolve domain of sender address.
How can I solve this?

I found some tips about disabling dns checking in sendmail.cf but I don't 
know how to do it.
My distro is Slackware64 13.37.
$ sendmail -d0.1
Version 8.14.4
 Compiled with: DNSMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7
		NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING 
SASLv2
		SCANF SOCKETMAP STARTTLS TCPWRAPPERS USERDB XDEBUG

============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
      (short domain name) $w = localhost
  (canonical domain name) $j = localhost
         (subdomain name) $m = <null>
              (node name) $k = localhost

Do you mean /etc/fetchmailrc or ~/.fetchmailr?

Hi, thank you for your help.
I mean ~/.fetchmail/fetchmailrc

A) fetchmail with "direct procmail" can deliver to Maildir *without*
bothering sendmail.

B) *IF* you procmail script uses sendmail to send messages in response to
procesessed message and sendmail should not use DNS *THEN*

B1) add the following lines to sendmail.mc and generate/compile new sendmail.cf

dnl Do not check envelope sender address via DNS
FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
dnl Do not canonify email addresses (the process requires DNS lookups)
FEATURE(`nocanonify')dnl

B2) add the following lines to submit.mc and generate/compile new submit.cf

define(`confDIRECT_SUBMISSION_MODIFIERS',`C')dnl

C) Do you need (slackware specific) instructions how to generate
sendmail.cf and submit.cf?

And how can this be done?

Yes, please.  Sendmail seems to be very complex.
Thank you,

Do not call/execute sendmail in .prcmailrc?

Anyway 
1) I personally use mda like the one below:
   mda "/usr/bin/procmail -tY -f %F -m /home/anfi/pop.rc"
2) I do not think procmail likes mixing -d and -m

That must be wonderful: I don't understand it at all.
