Greetings,
    I'm in the process of bringing up my RS/6000, and am working on 
getting mail working.  Mail from the 6000 to my other machines works
fine, but mail to the 6000 is bounced back.  Here is the message
I get back.

******************************

I've checked my /etc/hosts file, and that seems ok.  I've set up
my sendmail.cf with the Cw line showing my hostname and also including
lo and localhost.  Any idea what's going on?

I'm also curious if there is anyplace that all the error messages
that sendmail generates, are in a specific place, with hints as to
the possible problem and fix.  Thanks for any helpful hints.


is there
