Don't send to a fully qualified domain name, just
send to "Kent@amethyst" and then sendmail will
know it is local. Assuming "amethyst" is your
machine name, make sure that it is an alias for
your machine in the /etc/hosts file like the
following:
192.168.1.1 amethyst.fraizer.home amethyst
Set the above to your IP of course ;-)
