Thank you very much for your help and time, Mr. Brown.

Amazingly enough, sendmail apparently took the mailer address from my
provider's nameserver, and it worked. I had to tweak the hostname
variable in rc.conf, though: it was originally
"nameserver.script.org.ar" (name and domain of the BSD), and sendmail
was sending mail from <mgiovann@nameserver.script.org.ar> (my account
and the hostname). The SMTP mailer rejected the domain name as invalid,
it only recognizes "script.org.ar" as valid; so I changed hostname to
"script.org.ar" and it worked. I wonder if there is a cleaner way to set
the domain in sendmail.cf that doesn't involve travestying the machine name.

Is the O'Reilly book about sendmail any good? Maybe I could have figured
this out with the info there, because I feel a little abusive about
posing so many questions :-)

Best regards,
Matías.
