One possibility is recompiling with "-DNAMED_BIND=0" and removing "-lresolv" from
the library search path to turn of all DNS checking. That's the hard way, though :)
Uhm, I am trying to understand the sendmail manual here. The way I get it, it
relies on gethostbyname(), meaning a /etc/host.conf with
order hosts, bind
multi on
might do the trick on a Linux box, if the names and addresses in question are in the
/etc/hosts file.
