Hi guys. just had a client try to send mail to an account @ bigfoot.com...

sendmail rejects him with the following error:



Dec 14 16:08:44 ns sendmail[20500]: QAA20500:
mail.bigfoot.com.:bftoemail20.bigfoot.com.:bftoemail23.bigfoot.com.:bftoemai
l6.bigfoot.com.:bftoemai...ot.com.:bftoemail8.bigfoot.com.:bftoemail20.bigfo
ot.com.:bftoemail23.bigfoot.com.:orion.bigfoot.com.... Address too long


really strange.

I do a dig mx bigfoot.com and get: (truncated)


seems like sendmail is croaking out due to massive #'s of mx records...
I'm having no other problems at all with mail... and this problem just
cropped up
I'm running sendmail 8.9.1
