I am having problems configuring my SendMail program on my FreeBSD
system. My only link to the outside world is a UUCP connection, but
mail doesn't even work locally. When I send a message to 
user@myhost.com
the message never gets delivered, but when I do it to
user
or
user@localhost
the message gets delivered fine. MAILQ says that mail was timed out
when polling the name server. But I don't even have a name server!
Could someone please suggest methods for fixing this, or e-mail me
their configuration files.
Thanx in advance.
