I've got to get this working. The suggestion that DNS is not working right 
can't be correct, I can browse the web and do traceroutes to named sites 
without a problem. The emails sent from the command line mail never arrive 
at the destination. I don't know what to check/fix to make it work. At the 
bottom is all the screen messages of a mail and traceroute.
TIA,
