We are using Sendmail.
Sendmail version 8.13.8, config V10/Berkeley

It is just odd that of our 17 domains we send/receive mail for.. only the 4 
that are specified in our DNS are the ones having problems.

The Domains are all listed in local-domain file.

If there is something else i can check or put in my sendmail config, i'm all 
ears.  It is configured for SMTP AUTH so its the check_rcpt that is giving 
up the error.
