Sendmail problem

[Mark Musone]

More likely than not somebody updated sendmail (updatedb, security
patch...etc..)
And it overwrote the sendmail.cf. Only recently did redhat start only
binding to the localhost in the sendmail.cf file by default.

Hey Mark,


It worked!  Crickey!

Adding that extra line to sendmail.cf referencing the global IP solved
the
problem.  My webmaster account just got pelted with 26 e-mails that had
been
getting bottlenecked for the past week.

What's really strange is why this problem suddenly appeared out of
nowhere.  PHP
previously had tried to deliver the e-mail via localhost, I assume, and
I'm not
sure why it was trying to connect via the global IP all of the sudden.

Looks like it's time to start reading that sendmail book more
thoroughly!  Thanks
again for your all your help.
