I found sendmail the worst piece of software I ever had to deal with.
Windows XP user management in a mixed environment with shares is
delightful, writing bind config files or XFree86 configs by hand was
nice, easy and a joy compared to sendmail.

[gentoo-user] basic trouble with sendmail config

2016-12-04 Thread Harry Putnam 
After setting up the files for sendmail on my first attempt at
sending a msg I get this error as reported in the smtp conversation:

   Temporary system failure

That is a new one to me, and doesn't give much to start on.

It appears not to even get past the submit agent.

(Running a little script that uses mailx in verbose mode to capture
the action .. Runs the mailx command as shown below:
