What made sendmail do this?

Hi Adam,

Hmmm.  Though you do mention being able to use your ISP's IMAP and SMTP 
servers with Pine, it does otherwise seem that you have yourself a DNS 
issue.  Try checking your /etc/resolv.conf file, and checking with your ISP 
to confirm that the name servers it indicates are still valid.  If those 
have changed, it could result in trouble; change your resolv.conf as 
directed by your ISP.

Thanks.
