The three solutions listed below were recommended. I chose solution 1.
It works!!

1. Six managers suggested:
In /etc/rc.local move the lines
if [ -f /usr/etc/ldconfig ]; then
ldconfig; echo "link-editor directory cache"
fi
from the end of the file so that ldconfig is invoked before
if [ -f /usr/lib/sendmail -a -f /etc/sendmail.cf ]; then
(cd /var/spool/mqueue; rm -f nf* lf*)
/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q1h; echo -n ' sendmail'
fi
2. Five managers suggested
rm /etc/sendmail.fc.
3. Two managers suggested patches as follows:
This sun patch might fix your problem:
Patch-ID# 100377-05
I've seen this with the non-mx version of sendmail on both 4.1.2 and
4.1.3. I installed patch 100377, and that didn't seem to fix it
either.
