Problems with 386/ix X7 patch

I'm running 386/ix 2.0.2 and have just installed the X7 patch. Now I
am having problems with sendmail as follows:
When I attempt to send mail to a SMTP host it fails with the
following message in syslog file:
Jul 9 12:00:54 local sendmail[933]: AA00931: to=john at touch, delay=00:00:00, stat=Host unknown
I am still using my original sendmail.cf file. No nameserver. The
host is reachable via rlogin et. al.
I saved off the original sendmail executable before installing X7, when I
copy it back things work just fine again.
I've checked my /etc/hosts file, it looks fine, has internet address one
tab then the machine name touch.
Running sendmail -bt shows that it resolves the name correctly, identical
to the old sendmail.
I called ISC cutomer support, they told me to check my /etc/resolv.conf and
/etc/hosts file which I have done. Now they will get back to me!
Anybody had this problem? Any ideas?
I also tried using the mailmgt option from sysadm to use one of the example
sendmail.cf files - I get the exact same result.
While using the mailmgt I noticed that it puts the wrong entry in the
/etc/resolv.conf file. The file /usr/admin/menu/packagemgt/mailmgt has the
following code:
if [ "$nameserv" = "Y" ]
then
echo "nonameserver" >> /etc/resolv.conf
else
echo "nameserver $nameadd" >> /etc/resolv.conf
fi
which is clearly incorrect, it specifies that no nameserver is in use when
one is and visa versa.
Help!
