[TriLUG] dead.letter file help

[Corey Mutter]

I see this in the work mailserver I set up, which is Sendmail, and just 
takes email from the outside and relays it to our Exchange server (after 
doing clamav, etc.) 

>From time to time, our network would get hosed. When my Sendmail box 
can't resolve the Exchange server's (MAIL_HUB) address via DNS, then it 
will dead.letter the mail. I got our IT guy to swear the Exchange 
server's address would remain fixed, then put it in the hosts file, to 
fix that.
