Why send via your ISP _and_ setup local sendmail?

Do you really want your address to be @squirrel-gw.kal.emerge.net.au ?

First you'll need a domain and a DNS server.

Basically, your sendmail chokes on the squirrel-gw domain. Have you
set that as your hostname? What have you done so far to sendmail config?
Please give more info.

Without seeing the config? Are we telepathic?

That means your browser is sending and receiving directly from the ISP.
Why on earth do you want sendmail then?

Sendmail can be very complex. What have you read?

This is coming directly from your sendmail.
