Help with configuring sendmail to stop some bounces...



Folks,

I moved from Exim to sendmail as my MTA.  Since I moved to sendmail, some
of the mails that were bouncing are no longer bouncing
(rahul21@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, for example).  But I also notice that some other
addresses are now bouncing.  Here is a sample of some of the email
addresses from which emails have been bouncing.  Could some MTA / mail guru
look at the following attached message and the headers of this email and
tell me why these emails are bouncing and what I need to do to reconfigure
sendmail to stop these bounces?

[Note: That is a sampling of the email addresses to which email is
bouncing.  There are quite a few more.]
