Ok, btw email within the fbsd email server has been unaffected so far, i.e. 
it worked before and works now.

I notice that while I can ping swamisalami from both the server and client 
boxes I can't ping swamisalami.face2interface.domain from either box. 
swamisalami.face2interface.domain is my rc.conf specified hostname, but 
since I don't actually understand most of what I'm doing here it's hardly a 
stretch of the imagination to speculate that I've coded something 
inconsistent elsewhere. Also I've setup the server ip 192.168.0.7 as the 
dns server for the client box; on both the nic and modem properties.
