I notice since I switched back to sendmail, that I get  a lot more failed

		Mail Queue (1 request)
--Q-ID-- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient------------

                 (dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu... reply: read error from resnet.u)
				   dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu


So what causes these read errors? does anyone know.?
