Hi

I want to send mail from one linux bos to another on my local network.

Sendmail won't send the mail because it can't find a nameserver to look up
the machine names on.

I really don't want to run a name server for four machines, is there any
way to get sendmail to use the 'hosts' file or better just deliver the mail
without checking the address if it is local.

thanks

Dave
