- Begin checking for error messages on your system console. I would then begin
- looking in /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog to see why sendmail is failing. If mail is
- not even bouncing back to the user, there is a chance the problem may be
- because sendmail does not know your host. Check NetInfo for correct local
- machine host configurations.
