Need help with sendmail error message

[TSch]

Hi folks,

following problem.

I'm using command mail "recipient" to send a message from root on our AIX machine to another user on a WINNT machine in our local network.

when I do a "sendmail -v root" it says that for all recipients on an NT machine there's a "Transient Parse Error".

From AIX the mails are send to our mail server (also NT).
We are not using nameserver entries (/etc/resolv.conf) because those were extremely slowing down the system. So we entered the mailserver IP instead of it's hostname into /etc/sendmail.cf --> [IP]

Can anyone tell me what this message means and what we can do to get rid of it ?

Thanks in advance !

Regards
Thomas

message means that message is enqueued not sent immediatly
you can get rid of it if you omit -v and read man sendmail
