[comp.mail.sendmail] sendmail questions, please help!

mak@symlab.UUCP (Phil Mak) (03/01/90)

We just recently established uucp connection with mips and
have been waiting for the approval of our domain name
registration. During the waiting period I have been manually
monitoring the incoming and outgoing mails from within the
uucp spooling directory. Today we received the following e-mail
from uunet postmaster. Up until now the mail has not been routed to
my mailbox yet because it has been bouncing back and forth
between symlab and mips. I was able to receive some e-mails
yesterday with the same address so maybe this problem has something
to do with the domain name registration becoming effective today? 
We are running SunOs 4.0.3 on Sun4/330 on the main machine "symlab"
and the sendmail.cf file has the following changes from the generic
sendmail.main.cf file distributed by Sun:

DMuucp
DRmips
CRmips
DDsymlab
CDsymlab

Does anybody know what causes this problem? Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.
