Sounds like you're getting spammed bigtime or mailbombed ;0

wetr.com is bogus....so sendmail won't allow incoming mail from it

I'd add the IP address to the list of domains not to accept mail from...
(don't add wetr.com, it doesn't exist ;)
or put it in /etc/hosts.deny if it's generating a real load on sendmail

Suppose you could complain to alternet...seems to be in their address
space....prolly a waste of time tho -/
