Sendmail gethostbyaddr Problem

The problem is that sendmail tries to resolve the ip of
every interface  your have. 

Change this line in sendmail.cf:

#O DontProbeInterfaces=False

to

O DontProbeInterfaces=True

and restert the sendmail.

Amzon EC2 - Changing Scale

This script disables the Auto Scaling, because min-size and max-size are zero.

ZONE="us-east-1d"
LC_NAME="myscaling-lc"
SG_NAME="dmcleaner-sg"

as-update-auto-scaling-group $SG_NAME --availability-zones $ZONE --launch-configuration $LC_NAME --min-size 0 --max-size 0

This script is enough for me :)
