Sendmail

[Remco Barendse]

I had the same problem. I traced it back to an update that was installed
last week when running RedHat up2date.

Every server that ran up2date and was updated appeared to be down from the
internet. The server would be fine when looking at if from the console.

Rebooting fixed the problem (are they copycatting from Micro$oft at
RedHat??)

Had identical problems with RedHat 8 servers. SSH stopped working, as did
sendmail, POP3, IMAP and some other services.
