There are a bunch of machines defined as local machines in sendmail.cf file
We can't send mail to any of these mcahines.  It bounces back with message
550 Host Unknown.  We can send mail to this mail machine from the local
machines.  We have no idea as to why it happens and how to debug this
problem.
We discovered that sendmail.cf was updated once but sendmail.fc was not.
The sendmail manual says it has to be manullay updated.  Now that 
sendmail.cf is an ASCII file and sendmail.fc is a binary file, how can one
go about it?

Thanx very much in advance.
