Hi, I asked you to do a couple of simple diagnostic things and report the results. From what you have said in this post it appears you have not done them. Here it is in a nutshell. Your configuration is broken - it does not work. You don't know why. I have suggested you do some things which you appear not to have done. It therefore appears to me that I am wasting my time.

I would suggest the easiest way for you to learn what you need and get your system working will be to install qmail (2nd most popular MTA after sendmail and much more secure and easy to configure). Life With Qmail will show you how.

Your name resolution is almost certainly screwed. Name resolution comes from either /etc/hosts or DNS. The order is set in /etc/nsswitch.conf . You can test the results with nslookup or dig. This is a very good tutorial on BIND and DNS applicable to Redhat

cheers
