What you you get for:
Code:
nslookup def.abc.com

Does it give you an IP address? Is it the right IP address?
If you are using DNS, is your DNS server down?
If you are using /etc/hosts , has the line containing def.abc.com gone missing or got corrupted?

Can you connect with telnet to port 25 by using the IP address not the name?

Also, if you have these files what do the non-comment lines say?
Code:
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/mail/service.switch

Did the authorisation/authentication process change on the receiving end? "Connection refused" indicates permission problems, be it wrong ports or malauthorisation/-authentication.

I definitely don't have a server of that name and can reproduce the error message with a unix telnet (albeit not SunOS):
Code:
telnet def.abc.com 25
def.abc.com: Unknown host
