My sendmail is rejecting email for some strange reason.  I am not sure 
exactly why it is refusing this particular email.

The host that it is coming from is "131.137.96.18" which resolves into 
"mail.dnd.ca".  The only thing that I can see is that dnd.ca is different 
than the originating host.  But at the same time there is a MX record for 
dnd.ca as follows:

Non-authoritative answer:
dnd.ca  preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.dnd.ca

Authoritative answers can be found from:
dnd.ca  nameserver = ns.dnd.ca
dnd.ca  nameserver = ns1.drenet.dnd.ca
dnd.ca  nameserver = gps1.ndhq.dnd.ca
mail.dnd.ca     internet address = 131.137.96.18
ns.dnd.ca       internet address = 131.137.255.2
ns1.drenet.dnd.ca       internet address = 131.136.242.3
gps1.ndhq.dnd.ca        internet address = 131.137.96.3

Here is a copy of the maillog.

The sendmail.cf file is pretty standard, but has the spam protection added.
