Hi all,
The recent bluewin migration to new dns load-balancers broke
sendmail on BSD systems. It seems that the BSD resolver (not relevant
if one uses bind8 or bind9) is different than the one in linux.
I suspect that all BSD systems have this problem, including MacOSX.
The following sendmail patch does work around this problem. It is not
100% correct but does work for now.

and of course you'll need this option in your MC File:
