Recipient ok (will queue)

[Kevin Darcy]

It's doubtful that this has anything to do with DNS. Once the mail reaches your
server, the MX record has basically done its job. I've never worked with
virtusertable's in sendmail before, but according to the code, "will
queue" appears to mean that sendmail is encountering a temporary failure will
trying to look up the recipient address. Unless you're using Hesiod, this
probably indicates a corrupt database file. For more definitive
troubleshooting, ask a sendmail group/list.
