[TriLUG] Sendmail error: SYSERR: putoutmsg

[Jeff Bollinger]

That worked beautifully, thanks!  Also, as Andrew noted, when I run 
netstat -na I now get the following:

# netstat -na |grep 25
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25              0.0.0.0:*             LISTEN 
      tcp        0      0 x.x.x.x:25           x.x.x.x:1567 
TIME_WAIT

Thanks again!
Jeff
