When i try to send mail i receive "Transient parse error"
I don't use DNS so I use the /etc/hosts file to make the name resolution.
Most of the servers everything is working fine but in some of then I receive the following message:
company.com: Name server timeout
username@company.com... Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery
username@company.com... queued
The /var/adm/syslog/mail.log gives the following messages:
Oct 15 19:32:53 jmubwh51 sendmail[23491]: l9FIWrQ23491: to=username@company.com, delay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=0, relay=proxymail.domain.pt, dsn=4.4.3, stat=Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery
Oct 15 19:32:53 jmubwh51 sendmail[23491]: l9FIWrQ23491: from=mbrito, size=9, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=<200710151832.l9FIWrQ23491@ux.jeronimo-martins.pt>, relay=root@localhost
Oct 15 19:32:53 jmubwh51 sendmail[23491]: l9FIWrQ23491: to=username@company.com, delay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=9, dsn=4.4.3, stat=queued
I already copy all the configuration files (/etc/mail/*) from servers where the mail is working to these nothing is change.
The only difference that I could find was, in the server where the mails are send correctly the order of the messages is:
Oct 15 19:32:53 jmubwh51 sendmail[23491]: l9FIWrQ23491: from=mbrito, size=9, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=<200710151832.l9FIWrQ23491@ux.jeronimo-martins.pt>, relay=root@localhost
Oct 15 19:32:53 jmubwh51 sendmail[23491]: l9FIWrQ23491: to=username@company.com, delay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=9, dsn=4.4.3, stat=queued
In the servers where the mail is not working it sends first
Oct 15 19:32:53 jmubwh51 sendmail[23491]: l9FIWrQ23491: to=username@company.com, delay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=0, relay=proxymail.domain.pt, dsn=4.4.3, stat=Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery
And then the other 2
Oct 15 19:32:53 jmubwh51 sendmail[23491]: l9FIWrQ23491: from=mbrito, size=9, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=<200710151832.l9FIWrQ23491@ux.jeronimo-martins.pt>, relay=root@localhost
Oct 15 19:32:53 jmubwh51 sendmail[23491]: l9FIWrQ23491: to=username@company.com, delay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=9, dsn=4.4.3, stat=queued
Thanks in advanced,
MBrito

Re: When i try to send mail i receive "Transient parse error"
Either add company.com to your hosts file or do like the rest of us and use DNS.
Also, you could just send everything to a smart relay - that way only 1 of your servers needs to be able to use DNS and/or acess the internet.
In /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Re: When i try to send mail i receive "Transient parse error"
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
10.20.1.229 servername servername.company.com
10.1.150.251 proxyname domain1.com domain2.com proxysmtp.domain.com proxymail.company.com
I think nothing is missing.

Re: When i try to send mail i receive "Transient parse error"
You have to create the "/etc/nsswitch.conf" with the following entry:
hosts: files
Best regards,

Re: When i try to send mail i receive "Transient parse error"
I have my relay configured, but still modifying the /etc/nsswitch.conf worked for me.
/etc/nsswitch.conf didn't exist in the system. so,
cp -pr /etc/nsswitch.hp_defaults /etc/nsswitch.conf
then insert files as "hosts: files" , then restart sendmail
