Attempt to slow down the spammers. :) You need to change your system name to match the addressing you are using for you email account. Currently your system things you are trying to send a message through to another system. If the message is being delivered locally it will accept the message and drop it in your mailbox. You will need to modify the name of your box so it has a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and change sendmail so it knows your systems name. -- Scot L.
