The last time I checked these error messages I was told that sendmail was 
in the middle of receiving and the data flow stopped.  sendmail then timed 
out waiting for the remainder of the transfer to occur.  In other words, 
the transfer to your sendmail server was interrupted for some reason and 
sendmail finally gave up.  It isn't a sendmail problem.
