We encountered this problem in February when we installed Sun's release 3.2.
I checked with Sun's Tech Support and they said that there was a known bug
in sendmail that caused this behavior.  It should be fixed in release 3.4.

The workaround is to delete the frozen configuration file, /usr/lib/sendmail.fc,
and to skip the installation step that creates it.  In other words, do not
execute the command /usr/lib/sendmail -bz.  The problem is only present in
frozen configuration files.
