I had pretty much the same problem solved by this forum pos ( see notes

http://forum.rackshack.net/showthread.php?s=&postid=61109#post61109

Now my problem is that Sendmail outgoing will just stop but incoming will
continue to process just not deliver. I have to restart MS and sendmail
several times a day. Julian is looking at it but neither of us can find the
problem.
