That didn't fix it. The mail got queued though which is another problem that occurs sometimes along with this. As soon as I restart sendmail these queued mails are sent immediately.

These extra emails are problems with the mailq (I think).
I'm out...I abandoned sendmail for postfix years ago. A suggestion though...set up a server on your lan to handle relaying all outbound mail and use an smtp connection to that server instead of relying upon the local /usr/bin/sendmail binary. That pretty much solves the issue of configuring each workstation to handle mail deliveries.

There are a million ways around the problem, but I'd really just like to fix it.
Thanks for trying though.
I feel that you missed my point.
If you are going to rely upon configuring sendmail on each machine on your LAN to deliver e-mail, you need to have working DNS and some knowledge on how to configure sendmail. That's what's required to fix it. You are choosing your own burdens here.
Craig
I understand you perfectly. However there is no DNS problem as I can read mail from the server, the browser works and I can ping. There is some new problem with F9 that is causing this or something that works differently on F9. This has worked fine on every version of Fedora since 1 and it works fine as soon as I restart sendmail.
