Sry for a OT sendmail question
In my mail queue I have a bunch of email w/ the domain c18-ss-1-lb.cnet.com and the status is "Deferred: Connection timed out with c18-ss-1-lb.cnet.com."
Each of the email the user mistypes the domain so that it is not a resolving domain name. Sendmail replaces the invalid domain with a cnet address. ex thutrang@c18-ss-1-lb.cnet.com.
The confusion comes when the user gets the email bounced back after 5 days w/ the domain replaced w/ the cnet one. Then they complain to me.
thx bazooka

It's probably because they've mistyped the email as <something>.com.com
[sam@samlap ~]$ host fruckaiomowenuerc.com.com fruckaiomowenuerc.com.com is an alias for c18-ss-1-lb.cnet.com. c18-ss-1-lb.cnet.com has address 216.239.122.33
CNET owns .com.com and they have a wildcard DNS record, so you need to complain to them...
