Hello.... Hope that you can help me with a small prolem... (I am doing
something wrong and you seem to be an expert on the sendmail.cf file.)

I put the routing lines into me sendmail.cf file for the fidonet addresses,
however no matter what I do it wants to look up "f?.n?.z?.fidonet.org."
from a DNS site and bounces the message back to me....

Can you enlighten me on what I am missing??

Thanks!
