I have no choice right now, my ISP does not offer it.
By the way, I don't have any mail rejected, as far as I am concerned.

Every ercipient. I chenged the email address in the log to protect my
recipient from spam. But any mail is queued, until the first sendmail
restart. Then, no more problem. That is why I think that when sendmail
is started at boot, with of course no connection and an empty
resolv.conf, it decides to queue every mail. Why ? I really don't know.

I try the IPV6 trick and I will tel you more.
