Rejected e-mail Any Clues ?

[Furnish, Trever G]

The rejection is happening at the inbound sendmail layer, not in
MailScanner.  Are you using anything for sendmail access control besides the
access database (ORDB?)?  Made any changes to your hosts file,
/etc/nsswitch.conf, or /etc/resolv.conf files recently?  It seems to me I
bumped into exactly the same message recently but I can't remember what the
issue ended up being.  Seems like it was a goofy mistake on my part...
Sorry, hope it helps.
