Just out of curiosity have you used nslookup to check if MX records are resolving ok?

Have you checked the logs? Does your host have forward and reverse dns working correctly and they match? Mail servers often reject mail coming from machines without proper dns entries. DNS not working right means much more than just can i resolve a site on the box.

I've got to get this working. The suggestion that DNS is not working right can't be correct, I can browse the web and do traceroutes to named sites without a problem. The emails sent from the command line mail never arrive at the destination. I don't know what to check/fix to make it work. At the bottom is all the screen messages of a mail and traceroute.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if DNS is not working, I would not be able
to
do a traceroute to a domain name, right? But rather only to an ip
address?
But I can do traceroute to a domain name, and browse the web, by name.
Is
this right or not?
Thanks,

Looks to me like you dont have DNS workin right - everything resolves
to
your local host instead of gettin the correct MX records.

leaves the box, or at least it never arrives at its intended

I have set up previous versions of freebsd and never had a problem
sending
mail with out any configuration of sendmail. The machine does
connect
and
browse the internet. My rc.conf has sendmail_enable=NO. So it should

be
able to send, but not receive, which is what I want.I have included
the
mail -v messages below. I have tried to send to 4 different
addresses,

including the freebsd-test list, no messages show up at any
addresses.
Any idea why mail is not being sent?
Thanks
