 Any thoughts? TIA.

Your Sendmail accepted it from your Listserv, and then the destination didn't answer,
so it stayed in the Sendmail queue.

First 3 things to try:

1) 'telnet dmv.state.nv.us 25' - can you reach their SMTP port that way?

2) 'traceroute dmv.state.nv.us' - Where do things go astray? (Note that some
firewalls and the like won't allow you to traceroute past them, but at least then
you'll know "it gets at least this far".

3) If you have a phone number for the DMV's IT staff, call them and ask if their
server is up/down/sideways.. ;)
