if u are using sendmail, change to qmail suite, which is more robust,
scalable, reliable and fast. We switched over from sendmail 8.8 to qmail
1.3 (or 03). Since then the windows clients
(outlook-netscape-eudora-internetmail-exchange all we tested) are sending
local and remote mails in a breeze.
try www.qmail.org, even better the dec chip cd has qmail rpms and the mag
has the discussion on how to remove sendmail and put qmail.
