You can verify this by grepping your sendmail log as well as zgrepping your sendmail.?.gz logs for the mentioned hosts. If anything comes up it might say Relaying denied. If not then you'll see other messages that give you a better clue. UNLESS of course you actually sent 143 messages to screensaver4u.com and in that case your sendmail is misconfigured to not allow "relaying" from/to certain hosts. Check your sendmail logs, that's how you can get more information as to what went wrong with an email. HTH
