Hi folks,

I was trying to send mail from my ISP-connected box today, and got the
following log entries:

Jun 17 08:02:29 megaweapon sendmail[3583]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(matt): 
/etc/aliases: line 13: buildaddr: unknown mailer ocal

Jun 17 08:02:29 megaweapon sendmail[3583]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(matt): 
/etc/aliases: line 13: ... cannot alias non-local names

Jun 17 08:02:29 megaweapon sendmail[3583]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: putoutmsg
(localhost): error on output channel sending "554 /etc/aliases: line 14:
buildaddr:  unknown mailer ocal": Broken pipe

I haven't changed /etc/aliases or sendmail.cf from their default setups.
What could have caused this?  (I hung up and reconnected, and it was
fine.)
