Well originally I thought it was a change in LC because it started
happening right after I upgraded LC but never let the LC list know I was
using vserver.

I agree. When I get a chance to look at it more indepth I hope to sort it
out. But it was causing a problem so I found and used a bandage.

Here are the applicable lines from /etc/named.conf

zone "rimrocksoftware.com" {
        type master;
        file "rimrocksoftware.com";
        allow-transfer{
                207.170.227.121;
                207.250.222.10;
        };
};

Here is the /var/named/rimrocksoftware.com file

$TTL 300

Not sure how to run the sendmail trace but here are the lines from
/var/log/maillog

Aug 18 05:28:43 main sendmail[18827]: g7ICShu18824: g7ICSht18827: DSN:

I'm hoping this is just a user error on my part.
