Well, the logs showed this:

Sep 21 21:47:08 openindiana sendmail[1208]: [ID 702911 mail.warning] gethostbyaddr(10.211.55.6) failed: 2
Sep 21 21:47:08 openindiana sendmail[1208]: [ID 702911 mail.warning] gethostbyaddr(IPv6:fec0::fea9:21c:42ff:feed:5f38) failed: 2

So I put this in my /etc/hosts file:

10.211.55.6 localhost

And I added DOVECOT to my /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 line.  This cleared the queue, but now all of the mail for the virtual users bounces with this:



The original message was received at Wed, 2 Jan 2013 11:16:27 -0700 (MST)
from openindiana [IPv6:::1]

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<hacwebstore at localhost>
    (reason: 550 5.1.1 User unknown)
hacwebstore at DOVECOT
    (reason: 550 5.1.1 User unknown)
    (expanded from: <hacwebstore at localhost>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.1.1 hacwebstore at DOVECOT... User unknown
550 5.1.1 <hacwebstore at localhost>... User unknown



Then I took the DOVECOT out of the 127.0.0.1 line, and it still bounces with the same error.

How would I invoke this:  "sendmail -Am -v -q"  ?  Change my startup script?
