Some more info I forgot (don't know if it makes any difference): my local user
is "john", remote user is called "jfjellst"

Yes, I mean can not. I'm online when I try the maildirsmtp command.
I just tried telnet mail.bayarea.net smtp, and I did get connect, BUT it got
hung
$telnet mail.bayarea.net
Trying 205.219.84.13...
Connected to mail.bayarea.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 postman.bayarea.net ESMTP Sendmail 8.9.3/8.9.3; Sun, 3 Oct 1999 10:58:40 -0700
(PDT)
It hangs here, and won't go anywhere. Is that the problem?

I'm confused. When you get mail through fetchmail, don't it pass it along to
qmail through smtp? And don't you also need it for local delivery?

Could you clarify this for me? If I send to a user [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I use
my ISP's smtp server. When I set up qmail correctly, don't receive email for
the bayarea.net domain? My local system receive the email from my local user
john, for a mail going to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since I need to pass through
bayarea.net, don't I in a sense receiving email for that domain?

That's what the mailqueue documentation said I was supposed to put in there.
Wrong?
Thanks for all your help (and patience:-)
