1.  I've recently been experiencing a "Hostname Lookup failure" error
messages from our sendmail system (HPUX version 16.6/15.6), mostly when the
address is in a foreign country ( e.g csman.csie.ntu.edu.tw). What should I
do to solve this problem.

2. We receive large messages that tie up our gateway, how can I program
sendmail to only deliver messages of certain sizes only on off hours (after
6.00 pm).

3. Where can I get the latest list of bitnet hosts files.


Thanks.
