Hi,
I'm running Sendmail 8.11.6 on FreeBSD 4.4. I'm getting an error on sending an email to one address. This just started happening after never having a problem sending to this address before. Here is the error.

Deferred: 451 Temporary local problem - please try later

Any suggestions. Please keep in mind I'm fairly new with sendmail

Thanks!
 
You need to add some logging. Also try sending a test message with -v so you can watch what it's trying to do

mailx -v -s"test" joebob@yahoo.com
 

Here is today...

Now yesterday we were able to send fine.

Notice the dsn is different.
