i don't think you understand...I was trying to send an e-mail from
majuki@majuki.com to myself at bcwatso1@uiuc.edu. I'm fairly certain
DNS isn't the problem...

majuki.com DNS file:

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA dns.majuki.com. root.majuki.com. (
                                         200109171 ; serial
                                         3H ; refresh
                                         15M ; retry
                                         1W ; expiry
                                         1D ) ; minimum

                         NS dns.majuki.com.
                         NS carmen.stonenetworking.com.
                         MX 10 mail.majuki.com.

localhost A 127.0.0.1

dns A 24.182.126.7
www A 24.182.126.7
ftp A 24.182.126.7
mail A 24.182.126.7
test A 24.182.126.7

24.182.126.7 DNS file:

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA dns.majuki.com. root.majuki.com. (
                                         42 ; serial
                                         3H ; refresh
                                         15M ; retry
                                         1W ; expiry
                                         1D ) ; minimum

                         NS dns.majuki.com.
                         NS carmen.stonenetworking.com.

1 PTR dns.majuki.com.
1 PTR ftp.majuki.com.
1 PTR www.majuki.com.
1 PTR mail.majuki.com.
1 PTR test.majuki.com.

I still believe that it is in those few lines of the sendmail.cf file
that are in error.
