Thanks to all who replied to this one but the solution was not as difficult
as I had thought

It was to do with the host files and NIS.

The Hosts file was rebuilt removing the 'duff' entries and then distributed
accordingly.

The next step was to clear out the old emails as they could be hold
out-of-date information and then stop and start the sendmail daemon to
refresh it with the new data.

This appears to have solved the problems.

Thanks
Paul Procter

============================================================================

The Question was:

This is probably something simple and I am probably overlooking something
fundamental but here goes:

We are running sendmail on Solaris 8.
NIS is configured.


When a message is sent the following errors are seen:

SYSERR:(root):mail loops back to me (MX Problem?)
sendmail [4038] hdkmsmskjakk losing ./ asdfakdjlkjhqlwe sendmail panic
SYSERR:(root):sendmail:cannot save rejected mail anywhere.

Has anyone seen these types of errors and can possibly give me a clus on how
to fix them?

Many thanks.
Paul Procter
