Hi, all...
Well, I've managed to install FreeBSD 2.1R, including
XFree86 and I'm learning *heaps* :)))
...but... ;)
...I'm having troubles with some of the name resolving side
of things.
I'm currently running the system as a stand-alone machine
but I'd like to (initially) be able to send mail between
users on the machine... but mail just gets stuck in the
mail queue, viz:
Mail Queue (2 requests)
--Q-ID-- --Size-- -----Q-Time-----
------------Sender/Recipient------------

Now, I've had a look in the html Handbook on the system but
couldn't really find anything useful.
My /etc/hosts file has the following lines active:
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.0.0.2 cadence.apana.org.au cadence
...and I don't _think_ there's anything weird with the
system -- it's basically just "out of the box", viz:

Soo... any suggestions on what I need to do!?
_Many_ thanks for any forthcoming clues.
