I want to set up my house server to be an internal mail host.
"Internal mail host" means it will collect all the Email from the home LAN (I hope to have the other machines forward their mail (e.g. periodic output) to the house server (a.k.a. Atlas.) Later on, I plan to add fetchmail to pull in email from my various accounts. SMTP on Atlas will NOT try to forward outbound email to my IPS (T&C of my ISP on running my own mail server.)
At this point I'm just trying to get sendmail on Atlas to accept mail from a user signed on to Atlas.
I've added an MX record to my internal DNS. It appears correct. Output of nslookup is:
$ nslookup
Default Server: localhost.Tom.Parquette.name
Address: 127.0.0.1
> set type=mx > tom.parquette.name Server: localhost.Tom.Parquette.name Address: 127.0.0.1
tom.parquette.name preference = 0, mail exchanger = Atlas tom.parquette.name nameserver = ns1.tom.parquette.name tom.parquette.name nameserver = ns2.tom.parquette.name ns1.tom.parquette.name internet address = 192.168.2.10 ns2.tom.parquette.name internet address = 192.168.2.11 >

The strange thing is, when I create a test Email, e.g. mail -s"Test message" Tom Admin, the one to Admin seems to go through. From the messages below, it cannot figure out who Tom is (fwiw, that was the ID I used to generate the test message.)
I'm also can't figure out why sendmail is trying to forward the Email (complaints about the MX record pointing back to itself.)
I've looked at the FBSD Handbook, Greg L's book and FreeBSD Unleashed and I thought I had this set up right.
TIA
