"order hosts bind" is a valid syntax and should work in every case. And, the "order" option in /etc/host.conf should be ignored by sendmail. Instead, /etc/nsswitch.conf should be used. Seems a program uses it's own, incompatible resolver library. I thought only libc5 does this, not sendmail :(

That's ehat I thought... But look here! # man host.conf DESCRIPTION The file /etc/host.conf contains configuration information specific to the resolver library. It should contain one configuration keyword per line, followed by appropriate configuration information. The keywords recognized are order, trim, multi, nospoof and reorder. Each keyword is described seperately below. order This keyword specifies how host lookups are to be performed. It should be followed by one or more lookup methods, seperated by commas. Valid methods are bind, hosts and nis. "seperated by commas"... This is SuSE Linux 6.4, maybe they've altered this somewhat somehow. I'm not sure.. The minute I changed the space into a comma, the damned thing worked again. This cost me a lot of aspirines, and the mail.suse.com-server a lot of traffic to handle... not nice!
