	if sendmail gets either a "user unknown" from the destination
	host or a "host unknown and no MXes" from DNS the mail bounces
	immediately.  these are fatal errors.  that's why i ask people
	to provide MX service to each other. otherwise, if you have a 
	DNS problem or your provider loses your connection--you no longer
	exist!
