Both are running the latest version of sendmail (8.13.4).
I am postmaster at B so I sent an email with an attachment to
postmaster@b which gets aliased to my email address here.

My workstation is on the same network as A and has no problems with
transfers in either direction to A. I am unreachable from B, although I
have no problems transfering to B.

I have since tried to transfer via scp to A from each of our sites as a
test. One other site gave me the same problem. It's an older 400MHz
Pentium with 128MB of ram. All our other sites are at least 1GHz Athlon
with 512 MB of ram.

I'm definitley leaning on the side of a hardware problem at this point.
