Thank you for your reply. I've tried it.

In your advice, resolving host is still available. If the host is not in hos
ts, sendmail try resolving by bind. I must wait for timeout of name resolvin
g when sending mails each from mail client on end machine to sendmail on Net
BSD server.

I want to turn off name resolving of sendmail sending non-local mails, to ma
ke sendmail to send to master SMTP host of ISP without resolving. I think it
will be to change S0 configuration in sendmail.cf. but I don't know what to
change.

How do you think ?
