got my namersevers all pointed properly and I still dont have it working
100%. If I have friend use sendmail from his freeBSD machine (only setup as
far as install takes it) then it gets too me no problem. If I have him send
it from his ISP email I get nothing. I have no clue what is going on. Why
can I only recieve mail if its sent from sendmail?
