Mail-problem

[Tage Stabell-Kul]

I have 2 mVAXII running ULTRIX 3.0, rev 64.  They are identically installed
and have idetical hardware (RA53, WREN IV, 10 Mb)

One one of them mail suddenly have stopped working.  The sendmail.cf
are unaltered (and identical on both).  The problem can bee seen when
sending mail *to* the machine, locally and remote.

35 tor-/usr/staff/tage>/usr/lib/sendmail -v tage
We are testing the mail
.
tage... Connecting to .local...
tage... unknown mailer error 255
Saving message in /usr/staff/tage/dead.letter

rewrite: ruleset  3 returns: "tage"
rewrite: ruleset  0   input: "tage"
rewrite: ruleset  0 returns: "^V" "local" "^X" "tage"
>^D

As you can see from the above everything seemes normal, but no mail get's
delivered.  I have diff(1)ed the two mailers, the are identical.
What do I try from here ?
