I've done a ping of my mail server and came up with this:

[hosey@localhost hosey]$ ping shawmail
PING shawmail.cg.shawcable.net (24.71.223.43) from 192.168.1.103 : 56(84) bytes of 
data.
64 bytes from shawmail.cg.shawcable.net (24.71.223.43): icmp_seq=0 ttl=125 time=62.097 
msec

Is shawmail.cg.shawcable.net my fully qualified host.domain.com address?  If it is I 
just tried using that and I still got an error trying to send an email with an 
attachment.  I've also tried using the ip address 24.71.223.43 and no dice with that 
either.
