It could be a couple things.
Short answer: this message means that mail is probably looping.

Long answer: the message has too many Received: message headers. A received header is added whenever a MTA receives a message. A large number of Received: message headers is an indication that mail is looping around.

Seems there is an internal configuration problem at the receiving ISP. It may be temporary,it may not. Are you sure the recipient is accepting (server online)?

The other server is online. The thing about this server is that the mlc.sdnp.org.mw is supposed to be aliased to lawcom.mw.
So from ur interpretation i can conclude that may be the sendmail is not done properly.
This server is a new installation of RH9 and it collects mail using the UUCP with our server (ISP).
I suspect that maybe the alias hasnt been done fine. Is the any other info you can give i will thankfully receive it.
