I have two hosts: a DB server (no DNS) which sends to a relay or
"smart" host and the relay itself.
I can telnet to the relay via port 25 and send (and the mail actually
gets there):

[myname(a)dbserver ~]$ telnet mailhost 25
Trying 10.156.80.131...
Connected to mailhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 localhost.localdomain ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.0; Thu, 12 Nov
2009 10:30:2 3 -0500
HELO dbserver
250 localhost.localdomain Hello dbserver [10.156.90.13], pleased to
meet you
MAIL FROM:myname(a)dbserver.com
250 2.1.0 myname(a)dbserver.com... Sender ok
RCPT TO:myname(a)gmail.com
250 2.1.5 myname(a)gmail.com... Recipient ok

This is a test
..
250 2.0.0 nACFUNo4004197 Message accepted for delivery
QUIT
221 2.0.0 localhost.localdomain closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host


Proof that it was sent:

Nov 12 10:31:57 mailhost sendmail[4363]: nACFUNo4004197:
to=myname(a)gmail.com, delay=00:00:17, xdelay=00:00:04, mailer=esmtp,
pri=120015, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. [209.85.212.40],
dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (OK 1258040075 6si1723704vws.48)

But if I send via the command line (Mail myname(a)gmail.com) something
else happens.
Here is the log from dbserver (nothing turns up in mailhost's logs):

Nov 12 10:47:21 localhost sendmail[8754]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(myname): can
not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied

From the command line (after attempting to send):

[myname(a)e1198pdb3 ~]$ can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission
denied
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.


But .. even if I send it as root, news is not so good:

Using telnet just writes this information, whereas using mail/sendmail
requires a proper configuration for the mail service. You need to set
it up. Also, you note the "mail loops back to me" error? Have you set
up Sendmail at all? Can you mail to yourself locally? What steps have
you taken to set up smtp?
