 Check 'sendmail.cf' and see if there is a line containing 'Oi'.  If there
is, simply remove the line, rebuild the freeze file if you are using one
(with 'sendmail -bz', and your problem should be solved.

 Next start monitoring everything that uses mail, to see if anything else
is now broken.  That 'Oi' might have been put there for a reason.
