I originally tried just sending mail to the server, and got a bounce. I 
then tried telnet, and it too failed. The network setup in 6.1, as I 
recall, is nothing like the previous versions of Centos. I eventually 
installed Webmin and was surprised at how the NIC was configured from 
the install when I went to modify it. I could get to the internet, but 
sendmail didn't seem to be accepting mail. "ps ax" showed it running though.

Thanks
