Well, the problem seems to be that it's not sending out _valid_ e-mails.
Some are going out and some are not.  For example, I sent my message
below to this list via the Qmail server but after it still didn't show
up after 20 minutes I checked and sure enough, it still was in the
queue.  So I then send it via my sendmail server.  When I look at my
processes I see the following (it's 9:39pm now):

Messages are in the queue for over an hour!!!  Something is definitely
not right, I just don't know where to look.
