Sendmail not working from command line.

[James Lee]

# mail -v myname at mydomain.com
Subject: test
.
EOT
Null message body; hope that's ok
myname at mydomain.com... Connecting to localhost.com. via relay...
myname at mydomain.com... Deferred: Operation timed out with localhost.com.
#


It does really say localhost.com, I only changed my email address. I'm
also trying to get my form to work send me mail on my website. I think
it's related to this problem. The forms say the message was sent but it
never gets to me. It also takes a long time to complete once send is
pressed on the form.

try mail -v myname at mydomain.com (after the subject, end your
message with a single dot and a newline). what happens? post the output.
