You have modified submit.mc
The command you have used uses sendmail.cf and it processes "main" queue.

Filip,

If I understand what you mean, I need to modify the sendmail.mc file,
adding WorkAround... option, and then compile it to sendmail.cf.

This is what I've done now but I have the same problem, with the same
symptom.

Sorry for disturbing but I'm really beginner with MTA and sendmail
technologies.

Pierre

I have posted standard test/debug procedure and reference how to fix the
most likely cause. If your problem is more complicated then wait for
next helpful hand.

Filip,

Thanks for your help in anycase.

My problem is that posting the error message on search engine like
google does not help because it seems that this error is not so often
raised. So I don't know where to search for my solution.

I've tried removing the whole and reinstalling but this does not solve
anything. I hope not to uninstall/reinstall all my fedora 6 machine.

So, if someone else have some idea, I would be happy to work on it ...

Pierre

Apparently your sendmail wants to perform a lookup on smtp.free.fr to
do delivery.

This hostname does not appear to have anything to do with gmail.fr

Please post your sendmail.mc ( grep -v "^dnl" /etc/mail/sendmail.mc )

Please post the output of

dig mx gmail.fr
dig mx smtp.free.fr
dig smtp.free.fr
