I conjecture it is a problem >on node aries, but how can I verify that? It's telling you that whomever manages aries.si.com has misconfigured /usr/lib/sendmail.cf. Whatever he's done results in the address <beaver@swdev.si.com> causing sendmail to go into an infinite loop. I'd suggest that you email postmaster@aries.si.com, but obviously that's not going to work since he's managed to screw up his mailer configuration. If you can find out who he is, phone him or use talk. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carl J Lydick | INTERnet: CARL@SOL1.GPS.CALTECH.EDU | NSI/HEPnet: SOL1::CARL Disclaimer: Hey, I understand VAXen and VMS. That's what I get paid for. My understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below). So unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my organization responsible for it. If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
