Thunderbird sending mail

[Martin Marques]

I'm having some issues regarding thunderbird sending mail. Basically it 
hogs the CPU each time I try to send a mail trying to resolve the 
address of the smtp server. So I configured my default smtp server to 
localhost (I have a postfix server configured there for outgoing mail), 
but thunderbird, strangely keeps having a hard time resolving it 
(localhost is defined in /etc/hosts and /etc/host.conf has order 
hosts,bind).

I was wondering if thunderbird had the possibility of sending mail 
through /usr/sbin/sendmail (or where ever it is).

Other apps don't have any problems with dns resolving.
