Hi John,

Not sure what your problem is, but I jam new RESOLV2 information
into the file with my STARTUP.CMD file, as follows:

:: Change from Verizon DNS to Earthlink DNS.
:: PROBLEM: SendMail outgoing has 60 second delay when using the Verizon DNS.
:: It appears to be a DNS delay.
:: SOLUTION: Use a different DNS. There is no delay when using the Earthlink DNS.
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo Setting desired DNS . . .
G:
cd \MPTN\ETC
:: The two RESOLV files:
:: resolv - dynamically built by IAK dialer to make Internet domain
:: name and nameserver available
:: resolv2 - stores LAN based domain name and nameserver address(es)
call Resolv2-CopyFromEarthlink
cd \

Here's the Resolv2-CopyFromEarthlink.cmd file:

@echo off
G:
cd \MPTN\ETC
if exist RESOLV2 goto OK1
echo Can't find RESOLV2 file.
goto EndOfCmd
:OK1
if exist RESOLV2-20000806-2218-Earthlink goto OK2
echo Can't find RESOLV2-20000806-2218-Earthlink file.
goto EndOfCmd
:OK2
echo ========== OLD ==========
type RESOLV2
copy RESOLV2-20000806-2218-Earthlink RESOLV2
echo ========== NEW ==========
type RESOLV2
echo ========== end ==========
:EndOfCmd

and here's my RESOLV2 file (at least at this moment):

domain earthlink.net
nameserver 207.217.126.81
nameserver 207.217.120.83

My ISP is Verizon but Earthlink's DNS works with sendmail
and Verizon's DNS doesn't, at least here.

iirc the info is stored in one of the OS2*.INI files and
is reset on each boot, hence I use STARTUP.CMD to modify
the contents.
