- It's telling you that whomever manages aries.si.com has misconfigured
- /usr/lib/sendmail.cf. Whatever he's done results in the address
- <beaver@swdev.si.com> causing sendmail to go into an infinite loop. I'd
- suggest that you email postmaster@aries.si.com, but obviously that's not going
- to work since he's managed to screw up his mailer configuration. If you can
- find out who he is, phone him or use talk.
