I do know how to read headers. "by server" above is my machine, so it's the
connection to my server. There were no other upstream servers in the
headers.

from=<hanspete (at mark) ashi.com>, size=9650, class=0, nrcpts=1,

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the last Yum update. I recall
someone saying it replaced sendmail.cf? Which is strange because my
sendmail.cf says "built by root (at mark) [my.server].net on Wed Apr 2 13:07:22 CDT
2008"
My sendmail.cf also shows my sendmail.mc changes for spamhaus checking and
despite restarting sendmail, that is also not functioning. Is there another
sendmail on the server now since the last update?
