I have set up a RedHat box to send and receive mail for a small office using sendmail and pop3

Everything appears to function correctly but....

if a user receives a message in Outlook and the sender has requested a read receipt and the recipient says "Ok send the recipt" the resulting mail message is rejected by sendmail with the following error ( taken from /var/log/maillog):

buildaddr: no host

Outlook reports:

The message could not be sent because it rejected you as the sender. Server response: '554 buildaddr: no Host'

Can anyone shed any light?
