mail server config question

[Jeremy Claeson]

I'm in the process of configuring a mail server for my local domain
using qmail. This is the first time I've ever tried to set up a mail
server, so the going is kind of slow and I'm not totally sure that I'm
doing everything correctly. Heres the situation:
I'm running qmail on FreeBSD 4.7. Fresh install of the OS and mail
server software. I've got everything compiled and configured (at least
mostly configured) but I'm unable to get any email received by the mail
server. Here's what the log has to say (the domain name has been changed
to protect the innocent;) :

[root at freeside root]#

As you can see, it's accepting messages for delivery, but then says
there is a local configuration error. I'm also relatively certain I have
the MX record set up correctly for the mail server, here's the entry:
somedomain.com.      IN      MX      1 freeside.somedomain.com.

I appear to be running the correct daemons and such when I do a ps aux.
I'm not sure why it's not receiving the mail and any suggestions or
resources to check out would be really helpful!!

Thanks!
