- Forgive me if I'm wrong .... but I thought this only happens if you run
- sendmail on the same host as your nameserver. I heard it was a bizarre
- interaction of bind and the frozen config file.
-
- If you don't want to delete the frozen config file, you can move sendmail
- way down to the bottom of /etc/rc.local (or make it sleep for 30 seconds before
- it starts).
