[svlug] Fetchmail SMTP 451 4.3.0 Temporary Failure

[Prasad Paranjape]

Hi Rick,

Yes I got the problem resolved.It was the
service.switch file required by sendmail in /etc/mail
directory ; which tells sendmail not to do DNS lookups
while handing off the mail to SMARTHOST for delivery.

Sorry for my typos in writting the error messages.

Also I changed the file permissions for access file in
/etc/mail directory.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Prasad
