Tried the suggested fix it with no luck...I could send mail off the box from
the command line, but not to a local user.

I found that on my other 4.6.2 boxes  " telnet 127.0.0.1 25" and "telnet
localhost 25" both connected to sendmail
but on the  4.8 boxes "localhost" connects and "127.0.0.1" is refused ,
generic ipfw rules perhaps ??

I changed in my submit.mc :

    FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]')dnl
to
    FEATURE(`msp')dnl

All is now well, and my backup of form submissions has been delivered to
users from clientmqueue
