something interesting that one of our lug members has this problem. can some body help..

Not interesting at all - pretty common and well known.

MDeferred: 450 root@linus.iacc.org: Sender address rejected: Domain not

He's doing something which is not usually done ... sending mail as root. Likely using /bin/mail or similar which doesn't set the envelope sender.

Tell him to see http://www.hserus.net/sendmail.html - and not to send mails as root (or use root for other than admin work)

This one - viorelungur@yahoo.com - i have no idea. Is this what his root is aliased to in /etc/aliases? Go to /etc and /etc/mail and fgrep for viorelungur ... maybe his box has been r00t3d (can happen, even on dialups)
