Ok, I guess there's two ways I can phrase this question:

1) Is there anything "obvious" you have to do on NetBSD to get sendmail 
working properly?

or,

2) Can someone look at this mail bounce that went to root on my NetBSD 
machine, and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Here's the scenario: This mail was send from a machine where I work 
(where sendmail is "known" to work), to my bsd machine. It was sent to 
"dorfman@paige.est.org." Paige is my bsd machine. She also happens to be 
authorotative for est.org, and there is an mx record for paige pointing 
to herself.

Paige is behind a 28.8 dial-in line, if that matters. I'm pretty sure 
that everything is fine IP- and DNS-wise. I "don't know jack" about 
sendmail though. What I don't get is, this message indicates that it 
failed in looking up "paige.est.org" and "hq.hq.af.mil." Both are 
properly registered. Further, I don't understand why it is looking either 
of them up - the damn message is already on my machine. Alas, it never 
gets to the user account though.

Please, if you can help, remember, I really don't know sendmail. Pretend 
like you're tyring to explain ":%s/^\([^ ]*\) */\1\t/" to someone who has 
never heard of a "regular expression."

Thanks in advance!
