Ok, I'm fairly certain I've done something on my side, but I've no clue what. Running on a fresh install of 3.9-RELEASE, the only thing I've changed in mail is swapping the default 'localhost.cf' in /etc/rc.conf for 'sendmail.cf' in /etc/rc.conf.local, and installing pine to read it (mail frustrates me, and mutt annoys me). There are two user accounts on the system, one (czakelj) is used for sending emails relating to my website, and another (junk) which gets used when I need to test something without breaking the "real" address. I'd like to use a .forward file to bounce things from the real address to my regular one, since I don't always remember to log in and look for mail there. Of course, I tested it on the junk account first, with the following
$ cat /var/www/home/junk/.forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] Things worked just swimmingly when I sent a test email, so I did the same thing to the real account. Only that address can't get through, because apparently it's being rejected by an upstream server despite my using the same laptop and same sending email address.

Is this something I've messed up on my side, or did my test email possibly go through a different pool server that had a different configuration, and there's nothing I can do about this?
