Sorry, yes. It's a 4-stable fbsd running natd and ipfw. Providing Internet
connectivity to the rest of my private LAN.

Ok, I haven't messed with /etc/sendmail.cf yet. It doesn't even exist on
my system. Is this the reason why it wants to relay?

The lame domain given to me by @home is the Cxxxxxxx-A.frndl1.wa.home.com.
Where the x's represent my account. So, I went to dhs.org and registered a
domain name <mydomain>.dhs.org where <mydomain> is my account. It used to
be when I had 3.4 installed that I could only recieve email at
<username>@Cxxxxxxx-A.frndl1.wa.home.com. If I tried to send it to the
alias domain name I created, <username>@<mydomain>.dhs.org it would
bounce. They both share the same IP but the DNS 1 hop up from me probably
couldn't resolve it. So, I tried to set up my own named and screwed
everything up.
