Howdy,

You have a couple of options actually. The reason it's failing is probably
because the Sun servers and/or the domain they are in cannot be verified via
DNS. So if you can correct that they'll pass that test.

Your other option is to create an exception. You could create a hosts list
that contains these 2 servers (and any other servers you have this problem
with) and then have this sender verification only occur if the incoming
message is not from one of thes hosts. For example:

deny    message = sender verification failed
    hosts = ! sun1 : sun2
    require verify = sender


Hope this helps,
