It seems mountd expects > hda.hda.com to be doing the mount requests and not hda.com. No, that's the portmapper that's spewing; it's seeing mountd trying to register a port (via RPC), but it's seeing mountd coming from the wrong IP. Kill the portmapper and restart it with -v (Don't do this unless you're willing to restart anything that uses RPC!) > Is anyone willing to sanity check my named setup?

Hmm, I'm no DNS guru, but I can help you with that - you want MX entries for all of your hosts that point to hda.com, and then add all the names of these hosts to the 'Cw' line in your /etc/sendmail.cf file.
