I got:
Solaris 2.5
exim-0.42
Routers section in the config file:
#############################
lookuphost:
driver = lookuphost,
transport = smtp;
end
#############################
root@slip-3:> /usr/lib/sendmail -q -d4
Single queue run
LOG: MAIN
Start queue run: pid=5358
delivering message 0uAW9I-00045d-00
lookuphost router called for bboy2@???: dns lookup: route_domain =
slip
.net.com
lookuphost router failed
LOG: MAIN
** bboy2@??? <bboy2@???>: unknown mail domain
LOG: MAIN
Frozen
.............
It just gets frozen and sits in the queue forever.
But, if I enter the same address from the command line:
root@slip-3:~> /usr/lib/sendmail -d4 bboy2@???
it properly bounces back.

msglog reads:
1996-04-19 23:28:01 bboy2@??? <bboy2@???>: routing failed:
unk
nown mail domain
*** Frozen ***
(many time, since I was had to thaw the queue)
mainlog reads:
1996-04-26 12:34:47 0uAW9I-00045d-00 ** bboy2@???
<bboy2@???>:
unknown mail domain
1996-04-26 12:34:47 0uAW9I-00045d-00 Frozen
I thought it shouldn't matter if someone sends a message
from the command line or as a part of the queue run?
