[ZendTo] Re: email config

Here's an idea I got from Google:

"I removed any reference to localhost.domain.com in my hosts file and 
then also replaced ALL:LOCAL with ALL: 127.0.0.1 in my hosts.allow. The 
combination of the two caused the emails to not pass through. As soon as 
these changes were done email started passing through. If for some 
reason based on your configuration of those three files 
(hosts/hosts.allow/hosts.deny) this does not resolve you can add 
sendmail: localhost in your hosts.allow file. If this doesn't resolve 
the problem use the below recommend resources I found useful."

And also, you have all your relay settings set to use 127.0.0.1. Check 
that sendmail is actually listening on that IP, rather than the "real" 
IP of the server. You can check this with
     telnet 127.0.0.1 25
and see if it connects. If it does, press Control-] and then q and then 
Return, to close the connection.

Hope some of that helps!
Jules.
