Gang,

I rolled out require_rdns.m4 this morning and my phone is starting
to ring.  I have discovered that our network guy created (at least)
two entire subnets in DHCP but never bothered to create DNS zones
for them, so I have whole chunks of my campus not able to send email!
My question for you sendmail mc gurus:  instead of doing

$#error $@ 5.7.1 $: 550 RDNS: Fix reverse DNS for $1

in require_rdns.m4, I want to just log the message and go on (dry-run
mode), something like:

$#print $@ 5.7.1 $: 550 RDNS: Fix reverse DNS for $1

Anybody know how to tweak an mc to just syslog an action?
