I am seeing a constant flow of the following message in the /var/adm/syslog/ mail.log file:
Is there a possible configuration issue here?

SolutionToo bad you did not specify your HP-UX version, nor if you had installed an upgraded version of sendmail or not.
In the Release Notes for Sendmail 8.13.3 for HP-UX, this is listed as a known defect, fixed in bundle version C.8.13.3.3 and later:
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02038007/c02038007.pdf
See the last page.
Defects Fixed in Sendmail 8.13.3 (C.8.13.3.3) [...] QXCR1000861552 Sendmail logs the following additional message in the /var/adm/syslog/mail.log file: sm_gethostbyname: name :(hostname) family:22 [...]
You can download an updated version of Sendmail 8.13.3 for HP-UX 11.31 for free from software.hp.com:
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=SMAIL813
The latest bundle version seems to be C.8.13.3.5 at the moment.

Re: sm_gethostbyname:name Constant flow
I apologize for not providing the full context. I usually do so.
We are running HPUX 11.31 IA.
Evidently we were ONE version back from the fix. I have installed the patcht and the issue is resolved.
Thank you for your input and SOLUTION.
