Sendmail problem

Mark,


Yes, it's running fine.  NMAP shows the port open and telnetting to it identifies
it as Sendmail.

One thing I noticed is that before the error, titanium.quinlanco.net was always
identified by its loopback IP (127.0.0.1) and then when the error started, it was
identified by its global IP (66.202.79.100).  There are no references to the
global IP in the earlier maillogs and they contain 0 errors.  However, after the
first error began, the IP in the maillog for titanium.quinlanco.net was always
the global IP.

It seems like it might be a DNS issue, but titanium.quinlanco.net has existed for
months without changes so I don't think this should cause any problems.  Any
ideas?  Thanks a bunch.


-Cliff
