Recently I have been receiving the following in the mailq "Deferred:
local mailer (/usr/bin/procmail) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL".  The email is
trying to be delivered locally to root.  I'm receiving anywhere from
300-500 of these on a daily basis and it seems to be effecting mail
routing as a whole if I don't go thru and delete the emails in the
queue.  Sendmail is my MTA.  Any suggestions I can get would be great.
Thanks for your time.
