Hello,

I'm running a freshly installed FreeBSD 4.6 release, and I have problem 
sending mail. My FreeBSD box isn't connected to the internet.
My HOSTNAME is set to qjzhu.headsun.net and /etc/hosts contains
	127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.headsun.net

I do can send mail step by step, for example
[root@qjzhu root]# telnet localhost smtp
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

It's fine, but I can't send mail through 'mail' MUA, for example
[root@qjzhu root]# mail qjzhu

Why connection refused? I'm really unfamiliar with sendmail. 
Thank you very much.
