Are you really using 'example.com' as your domain name?

The following messages seem to imply that you are.

If that is the case, then you will have to switch domain names, because
`example.com' is already registered, and you don't own it.

My usual suggestion is to prefer something that doesn't stand a great
chance of being a valid, registered domain name, i.e.:

    domain = keramida.priv

The answer to your question ``how to make mail work?'' should be in the
Handbook.  If it isn't, you will have to show us all the options related
to `sendmail_xxx' variables from your `/etc/rc.conf' file, and some
files from the `/etc/mail' directory.
