This is not an error printed by Sendmail.  It's an error that was
returned from Qmail, running on smtp.netzero.net.

However, it clearly shows that something is very wrong with your
Sendmail setup :-/

You were trying to deliver mail destined for `xxxxxxx@skytel.com'
through one smtp server of netzero.net.  There are several things wrong
in this action: a) the mail server listed by netzero's DNS setup as the
mail exchanger is not smtp.netzero.net, but inbound-mail.netzero.net,

	% host -t mx netzero.net
	netzero.net mail is handled (pri=10) by inbound-mail.netzero.net
	% host inbound-mail.netzero.net
	inbound-mail.netzero.net has address 209.247.163.17
	% host smtp.netzero.net
	smtp.netzero.net has address 209.247.163.18

b) the mail exchangers for skytel.com as shown by `host -t mx' have
different IP addresses than the one your sendmail tried to deliver mail
through.

	% host -t mx skytel.com
	skytel.com mail is handled (pri=10) by marsemail03.skytel.com
	skytel.com mail is handled (pri=10) by jxnemail01.skytel.com
	skytel.com mail is handled (pri=10) by jxnemail02.skytel.com
	skytel.com mail is handled (pri=10) by jxnemail03.skytel.com
	skytel.com mail is handled (pri=10) by marsemail01.skytel.com
	skytel.com mail is handled (pri=10) by marsemail02.skytel.com
