I had a similar problem when using fetchmail to deliver mail to my localhost. Even with fetchmail in invisible mode, sendmail still refused to accept *any* mail, and dumped it to nowhere as far as I can tell -- very annoying. I got distracted by something else though, and never worked out how to fix it. I guess the solution above would work, but there is probably a better solution. I thought that it might have something to do with me using kppp to make my internet connection, so my /etc/resolve.conf did not have a nameserver in?
