[CoLoCo] Setup & Configure Sendmail

[David Overcash]

Ok correction - that was a config that I randomly tried over 40 minutes ago
that randomly worked... and I think it was just a basic sendmail install
that did it...  Things are still taking way too long and delayed...

Ideas?  What's the best course of action to debug DNS issues?

Also- telnet localhost 25 returns the following:
220 mulder.pegshot.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.3/8.14.3/Debian-9.1ubuntu1; Wed,
26 May 2010 22:36:51 GMT; (No UCE/UBE) logging access from:
localhost(OK)-localhost [127.0.0.1]

So things seem to be setup ok... right ?
