That didn't fix it. The mail got queued though which is another problem

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.
Craig
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.
