  I don't get the SMTP prompt.

"Insufficient data"
   a) does telnet say "connected"?

        Yes.

   b) if yes, how long did you wait for the banner?
      (if there's a DNS problem, it can be 90 seconds befre the banner line)

        Good catch - yes sendmail does seem to be hooked to port 25.

Supposedly you fixed the above problem.  But sendmail disagrees.  <wry grin>
check permissions on / /home and /home/huff

Exactly. I fixed the file permissions, but not those on /home/huff. Permissions are now 755.

ok, it's been trying to deliver for nearly three days. with local delivery
(program mail.local) failing.

mail.local can fail for a number of reasons that shouldn't happen.
   check permissions on the mailbox directory also owner/permissions on the
   mailbox, for starters.

        /var/mail is owned by root:mail with permissions 775
        /var/spool/mqueue is owned by root:daemon with permissions 755

        No.
