[CLUE-Tech] sendmail report interpretation

[Charles Oriez]

My morning report from Sendmail includes the section reproduced 
below.  What does that first line mean?  We run sendmail with everything 
aliased to other sites.  mail.den.cbeyond.com is where our staff hangs out, 
and we forward a significant amount of mail to there.  Does someone have a 
problem, and what is it? "verify=FAIL," and "138 Time(s)" doesnt give me 
warm and fuzzies. I have had no reports of mail not getting there.  We run 
a few dnsbls to block spammish sending IPAs, but this morning's report 
showed significantly less connections blocked than 138.  I've also 
successfully sent mail to the staffers hangin off cbeyond when I checked it 
myself.
