It means you should have stopped sendmail before deleting the queue files. I
knew that would cause a problem as soon as I read the offered solution, but
it was already too late...

The second log entry means the reciever SMTP at Prodigy cannot match your
SMTP server's IP address with a hostname. Until it can, it will not relay
your message. This is an anti-spam measure. Most legitimate mail servers are
DNS registered. Most machines setup as spam relays are not DNS registered.
