This is definitely a hardware issue, seeing as how its reproducable across different OS's. I suspect the power outage fried something, the question now is what. I'd suggest running memtest86 for at least 24 hours. This might help pin down the source of the problem. Alternatively, if you have

I typically will use SMTPClient (fm:smtpclient) in these situations. It allows more control than mail and one option is to tell it which SMTP server to use. It does NOT require sendmail and you can point it directly at your SMTP server inside. This, along with the fact that you can specify the
