HI again,

Thank everybody for giving me some feedback. I got it
to work at last. I created /etc/mail/service.switch
and put "hosts files". Edit my sendmail.cf again and
uncomment line to use service.switch file. wow lots of
email being sent at once.

# service switch file (name hardwired on Solaris,
Ultrix, OSF/1, others)
O ServiceSwitchFile=/etc/mail/service.switch
 
# hosts file (normally /etc/hosts)
O HostsFile=/etc/hosts

Thank you again.
