	Apologies! I've been having mail troubles at thought.org; 
	a few days ago mail worked on my new DNS server; it no longer
	works.  And even mail between my private network is flakey.
	At least part of the problem was that things were mis-cabled.

	Hm.  Last night dhcp wasn't working because my /etc/rc.conf
	didn't have the right entries.   I just grep'd for sendmail,
	and surpise-surprise, no sendmail entries.....



	For sure,  a large part of this Emachines <-> HP switch has
	been due to poor planning on my part.  I mis-assumed tht the
	main thing would be switching my DSL line and power-cycling
	mthe router.    Lots more to it than that.

	Iused your sendmail config in my rc.conf--thank you-- and am 
	watching maillog

	Well.  Now mail gets from ns1.thought.org -> toxic.magnesium.net.
	Let's se if I can at least get ,mail *thru* to me at ns1.

	Rats.  It is still getting queued.
