Thank you, it still did not connect using that. The mail server is a
SMTP server. Also I copied over my host's resolve.conf file.
With all these hassles/headaches, would it be better/more secure for
me to settup Bochs or QEmu running a virtual BSD server?
Thanks,

You need to set up the jail's /etc/resolv.conf to query a suitable
DNS. If you want to check connectivity from within the jail to out,
you could always "telnet mail-server-ip 25". To check connectivity in,
you could try enabling the jail's sendmail server...
Hope this helps.
