Re: Transient Parse Errors in Sendmail
$nslookup -d2
>server 192.168.200.3
>mantraonline.com
To see any errors. This lookup tests the resolver and the distant server.
If you get a failure, there's most likely an issue with the DNS configuration of 192.168.200.3 or the DNS that serves mantraonline.com.
As a general configuration practice for sendmail hosts, I recommend that you run _at_least_ a caching only name server on the sendmail hosts.
In resolv.conf, you should reference more than one well connected name server.

Re: Transient Parse Errors in Sendmail
Do a nslookup and see if your system is able to resolve mantraonline.com. If not, check your hostname resolution.
nslookup
> mantraonline.com
> exit
Hope this helps.

Re: Transient Parse Errors in Sendmail
1) My earlier sendmail version also refers to the same dns server and it works perfectly well.
2) This is the output of nslookup from the new sendmail server. As you see it resolves mantraonline.com ok.
;; res_mkquery(0, mantraonline.com, 1, 1)
------------
SendRequest(), len 34
HEADER:
opcode = QUERY, id = 43849, rcode = NOERROR
header flags: query, want recursion
questions = 1, answers = 0, authority records = 0, additional = 0
QUESTIONS:
mantraonline.com, type = A, class = IN
------------
------------
Got answer (66 bytes):
HEADER:
opcode = QUERY, id = 43849, rcode = NOERROR
header flags: response, want recursion, recursion avail.
questions = 1, answers = 2, authority records = 0, additional = 0
QUESTIONS:
mantraonline.com, type = A, class = IN
ANSWERS:
-> mantraonline.com
type = A, class = IN, dlen = 4
internet address = 202.56.230.162
ttl = 3600 (1H)
-> mantraonline.com
type = A, class = IN, dlen = 4
internet address = 202.56.230.225
ttl = 3600 (1H)
------------
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: mantraonline.com
Addresses: 202.56.230.162, 202.56.230.225.
I would try the caching only server, but how does the mail flow from old sendmail version.

Re: Transient Parse Errors in Sendmail
1. What OS are you running this on?
2. Where did you get 8.12.8, HP supplies 8.11.1 as far as I can tell.
3. On what network type, with or without IPv6 (there was a transient parse error issue with 8.11.1 on hp-ux 11i, when IPv6 was enabled, which has been fixed)
4. When mail is queued, and you resolve one of the domains (nslookup -q=mx
