Hello,
  I used to occasionally get the following error:

Apr 23 17:13:14 triangle.mps.ohio-state.edu sendmail[5622]: AA05622: SYSERR:
rewrite: cannot prescan canonical hostname:

But over the last couple of weeks I've been getting it almost once/day.  It
only seems to happen when receiving mail from sites which have send out mail
using a name which is actually a nickname (ie: math.harvard.edu).  Is there
some way to fix this?

...thnx,
...dave
