Cannot send mail to the root account



Dear all,

The sendmail under redhat 9 runs normally, However, recently, the root
account cannot receive email while the others do.

The following is the error log from the file maillog, and all letters sent
from the root are left in the clientmqueue folder. Kindly please give me
some idea to solve the problem.

Regards,
John
