  We run an older mail hub which recently has begun to refuse properly
addressed mail with the following error message.

	stat=System file missing

========
This valid address failed and then worked later.

Jul 30 15:21:22 udc sendmail[11792]: AA11753: to=zimmerm@urbana.mcd.mot.com, 
delay =00:03:22, stat=System file missing
========

========
This aparently valid address will fail every time I try it.

:02, stat=System file missing
========

  We currently run a locally ported version of sendmail 5.61.  We will upgrade
to latest and greatest this winter but I would like to nail down the cause 
of this problem if possible.  We are running this port on an R3V7 Motorola
system (68K based SysV system).  We have been tuning the DNS files of
late.  The source makes me think sendmail thinks something major is messed
up so perhaps our port is confused or we may have a resource shortage.

  I have just started reading this group so if this is a FAQ I will see the
answer next time it comes around.  Any pointers to answers/solutions would
be helpful.  Let me know if there is more information I should be posting.

		Thanks for any help you can offer.
