OK seems like you've proved it's your mailer and not the host you're
trying to relay through. Perhaps try something like pine or mutt and set
it up to use an smtp host if you're still not convinced.
Now it's a question of why nullmailer's having a bitch... is it something
locally it's complaining about? (files, permissions, disk space? can you
run it with strace?) Can you relay through another host? maybe if you have
another mail server somewhere (or I could arrange for one to let you try -
provided it's you only and not a NAT'ed connection), can you relay through
the other server?
