We are having problems receiving mail from large e-mail hosting companies
such as Yahoo, Hotmail, Bell Canada, Telus , Shaw and maybe other.

I hae used sendmail 8.13.8 and 8.14.1 and the problem is
ever-present.

Here is a snippet from my logs of an e-mail
that was supposed to go to me and never got to me:

Apr  6 20:02:00 doctor sendmail[1728]: l3721wnV001728: from=<>, size=5575, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<msgid>, proto=SMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=incomingmailserver [IP of incoming Mail Server]
Apr  6 20:02:00 doctor clamav-milter[805]: l3721wnV001728: clean message from <>
Apr  6 20:02:00 doctor sendmail[1728]: l3721wnV001728: Milter add: header: X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV version 0.88.7, clamav-milter version 0.88.7 on doctor.nl2k.ab.ca
Apr  6 20:02:00 doctor sendmail[1728]: l3721wnV001728: Milter add: header: X-Virus-Status: Clean                  

What is needed to resolve the problem so that all mail can make it through?
