Well, I tried you suggestion to my previous email, and they didn't work.
Are you sure? When I first tried, I thought so too! I had forgotten than sendmail has a feature, "Irritate the user while testing", that delays repeat attempts to contact the remote. It is a progressive delay.
Have you done a find on the /var/spool/mqueue? From and end-user POV, "It's broken" may be proper. From and admin/config, it maybe be "Which part is broken?" is proper. There's sendmail itself, it has a mail submission portion, a queue manager and all depends on name/IP resolution (bind usually). This implies a lot opportunities for configs to let you down.
Now, I'm sure it's because I'm not experienced in sendmail.
There is only one *experienced* sendmailer in the world! ;-) He justifiably stays in hiding I think!
