Admins,

Server ES40 cluster, V5.1a PK5

I use the OS installed sendmail as a client to an MS-Exchange server for sending mail only. Mail is sent via script files to notify users and admins for backup success/failure, important application actions etc. Yesterday's automatic notifications failed createing the following error messages in the syslog mail.log. Can anyone please assist me in understanding these error messages.
