Hi there,
Mailq and the logs show the same. Nuthing much.

Been there, done that !! Same headers !!
MDeferred is what it showed !!

I tried it with mutt and mail with the same results.

I dumped sendmail for Exim, then I came to know how to configure Postfix
Hence I dumped Exim for Postfix. So, AS you can see from the headers I am
on PostFix now. 

Anyway let me know if you want the sendmail.cf file. This started happening once when
I upgraded my sendmail. Earlier everything was going on fine.
God knows what happened !!
Anyway thanks for everything.
