zzholyo is my username at my ISP (uq.net.au). craigh is an alias. But this
is all at my ISP. The problems are coming from my own box - mail never
reaches the ISP. I have sendmail set as a smart host to smtp.uq.net.au,
but snedmail spits before anything gets that far. I have had sendmail
setup fine before like this.
