Sendmail 5.65 + IDA 1.3.5 on Sun 4 running SunOS 4.1.1

System is an MX for mthvax.cs.miami.edu, when mthvax.cs.miami.edu
is down, as is happening more and more frequently, paris accepts the
mail, but instead of holding it on the queue until mthvax is up again,
it bounces the mail to postmaster with the error "Service unavailable"

Why???

Here's the m4 used to generate the .cf file:


# sendmail configuration file for paris.cs.miami.edu
# which is the main mail gateway for all of our suns and a secondary
# mx for cs.miami.edu
