I got the following email on the servers local mail system when I tried
to email myself using the command below.
Any ideas?

I've uninstalled Sendmail and installed Exim4 and reconfigured it.
After doing that, I still can't send email. Doing a "date | mail -s
"testing" your.address" with my email address doesn't get me anything.
Any idea what I'm going wrong?

Debian comes with exim4 by default. You will probably have had this
removed by installing sendmail. Unless you are already a sendmail guru,
I'd recommend reinstalling exim4.
You can reconfigure it using "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config". Most of
the questions are straightforward.
There is additional information available at
<http://wiki.debian.org/PkgExim4UserFAQ>.
Exim4 and most MTAs come with a "sendmail" binary that supports the same
options as the traditional sendmail does:
however, for command line mailing, "mail" or "mail x" are best.
Try:
date | mail -s "testing" your.address
And read /var/log/exim4/mainlog to see what happened.
