hi
errm i had the same problem and it wasn't solved until i got my domain
registered to the dns server. i tried sending mail to user@IP but it
doesn't work, don't know why. afaik you'll have to wait for your domain
name... :/ btw you _should_ be able to send mail to remote hosts.
good luck and love & peace etc etc,
