I have been having trouble sending mail from our SUNs to several hosts (timeout after HELLO) including sri-nic.arpa. Using Eric Fair's sendmail.cf file (@sri-nic.arpa <netinfo>sendmail-internet-generic.txt) fixed the problem. When I find out the difference from what we were using, I will pass it on.

I changed our old sendmail.cf to include "E=\r\n" in the M record: Mether, P=[IPC], F=msDFMuCX, S=11, R=21, A=IPC $h, E=\r\n and this makes it work.

We ran into the same problem (4BSD sendmail defaults to terminating SMTP 'lines of text' with <lf> only), and after spending more time than we really liked explaining to people how to fix sendmail.cf, we made our parser more generous. jbvb
