[NBLUG/talk] Sendmail issues and Debian testing

[srj at adnd.com]

I'm running debian testing, and for somereason local users on the box can
not send mail.   Programs that connect to port 25 work fine (IE: Squirrel
Mail, Users with OE, or Eudora).. But if you use mutt or any other shell
based mail client, the e-mail just sits in the mail queue as defered,
connection refused by 127.0.0.1

Let me also mention, Yes, I am running sendmail, and verified the daemon
is running, no, I am not running any firewall rules.  Yes I can telnet to
127.0.0.1 port 25 with out any problems.. I can even send mail from there
using the old fashioned 'by hand' way.

Also I noticed in MUTT that the From: field is allways empty, instead of
containing my username at domain, I have to ESC-f and enter that manually.

I've also tried scripts that mail out messages to people, that work on
other linux boxes.. just not this one, the script returns no errors, and
the message also ends up in the queue with the same defered message.

Oh also, yes 127.0.0.1 is in my access file with the RELAY flag, and it is
also in my /etc/hosts =)

Oh, also FROM the shell, you can't even send to another shell user.. it
also ques up.

Here is my sendmail.mc file, which might shed a clue.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
