What made sendmail do this?

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hi Adam,

Hmmm.  Though you do mention being able to use your ISP's IMAP and SMTP 
servers with Pine, it does otherwise seem that you have yourself a DNS 
issue.  Try checking your /etc/resolv.conf file, and checking with your ISP 
to confirm that the name servers it indicates are still valid.  If those 
have changed, it could result in trouble; change your resolv.conf as 
directed by your ISP.

Thanks.
