Actually, I've had a problem with my version of sendmail on solaris 
choosing mx1.comcast.net and then reporting host not found. I think this 
is an issue with address selection, despite the server not being setup 
for v6 (os/sendmail are set for v6 support, but no assignment). I can't 
think of another reason why it would bounce 800+ emails with 
relay=mx1.comcast.net but have 0 logs for mx2/mx3.
