Thanks Steve, I'm honored by the confidence :)
I've been having network connectivity issues and fell a lot back in my
email backlog. I'm back online, with a better setup now, so things will
start improving I guess.

You are right about that. The original email by Duane Winner said:
I need help to resolve a problem with my sendmail server.
In my /var/log/maillog, I've been seeing:
sm-mta[1753]: l9H4EoAn001753: outbound-mail-10.bluehost.com
[69.89.17.210] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection
to IPv4
This usually means that there is an incoming connection from the host
outbound-mail-10.bluehost.com, whose IP address is 69.89.17.210, but the
connection was lost before the host managed to issue any commands to
deliver email, query for alias expansion, and so on.
Whenever I've seen this happening, it is usually some sort of network
setup error, broken routing, a misconfigured router in the path between
the originating host (outbound-mail-10.bluehost.com) and Sendmail, or
something similar.

Good points :)
Duane, can you respond to the questions of Steve above? They will at
least provide us with hints to start troubleshooting this better.
