I get the following error while trying to send mail from my AIX box. I have cross checked the sendmail.cf file of this system with a working system (similar h/w and o/s) and found no difference. can somebody sugget??

/etc/sendmail.cf: line 98: readcf: map arith: class arith is not available
/etc/sendmail.cf: line 227: DaemonPortOptions parameter "Name=MTA" unknown
/etc/sendmail.cf: line 447: readcf: Unknown option name TrustedUser specified
Warning: The sendmail.cf version level (10) exceeds sendmail program version AIX4.3/8.9.3 functionality (8)

# oslevel -r
4330-08

System Model: IBM,7025-F50
Processor Type: PowerPC_604

- Did you get your sendmail.cf from a server with higher oslevel ?
I am not sure, but I can beleave that :
- check your "config file format" : -> it should be "V8/Berkeley" for aix 4.3.3 and not 10 as I think you will find in your sendmail.cf.
- the arithmetic class "karith arith" only exists on newer oslevel, not in aix4.3.3.

try to find a senmail.conf without lines containing the string "arit"
and containing the string "V8/Berkeley"

good luck
