Most mails make it, but some fail. I can't figure out why. The recipient is valid and they have plenty of space in their account. Sometimes mail to them works with no problem. I checked the sendmail logs and found: Jul 2 03:35:16 gouda sm-mta[40342]: n5ULKB0i064252: SYSERR(root): timeout writing message to b.mx.mail.yahoo.com.: Broken pipe Jul 2 04:23:01 gouda sm-mta[47860]: n5ULKB0i064252: SYSERR(root): timeout writing message to e.mx.mail.yahoo.com.: Broken pipe Jul 2 07:03:05 gouda sm-mta[53788]: n5ULKB0i064252: SYSERR(root): timeout writing message to d.mx.mail.yahoo.com.: Broken pipe I thought it might be an MTU problem: http://anthony.zerosandones.co.uk/?q=node/451 I set my MTU to 1300, but that hasn't helped.

PTR is fine, reverse lookups work fine. I've googled my brains out. Does anyone have any ideas?
