Hello, IBM AIX's user and system operators...

I am a network manager of Chung Ang University.
I am wonder how sendmail work.
I am setup my system to domain name server with CAU host's information.
But mail exchanger does not work.
So I can not post mail to some area.
Normal mail works well.
For examples, mail to hostinfo@psi.com does not work well.
My system configuration is below.

		RS/6000 320 & 520 & 32H
		AIX 3.2.5
		DNS and NIS was setup.

output from my system)
% 
% mailx -v hostinfo@psi.net
Subject: mail test
This is a mail test...
If you get this, please ignore!!!

But in nslookup program, it's information will be found.
% nslookup
Default Server:  loopback

> set type=mx               <=== Mail exchanger information found
> psi.net
Server:  loopback
Address:  127.0.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
psi.net preference = 2, mail exchanger = srmftp.psi.com
psi.net preference = 4, mail exchanger = worldlink.worldlink.com
psi.net preference = 0, mail exchanger = psi.com

Authoritative answers can be found from:
PSI.NET nameserver = NS.PSI.NET
PSI.NET nameserver = NS2.PSI.NET
PSI.NET nameserver = NS5.PSI.NET
srmftp.psi.com  inet address = 38.145.204.4
worldlink.worldlink.com inet address = 38.8.1.2
psi.com inet address = 192.67.6.2
NS.PSI.NET      inet address = 192.33.4.10
NS2.PSI.NET     inet address = 192.35.82.2
NS5.PSI.NET     inet address = 38.8.5.2

I was setup "OK ALL" in /etc/sendmail.cf.
