Well, after I discovered that if I didn't change the kernel config,
everything worked - I didn't try the older 2.2.1-RELEASE boot.flp.
I'll go do that now and report back...

 It's not me - really :-)   When things leave hear they look
great...  

 For example, I believe our own sendmail.cf examples still
reference ucbvax.Berkely.edu as the UUCP_RELAY; which is where
a lot of this creeps in.

 But; to help me track this down - what bogus address to you
get for this return mail?

 And, of course, since this is all FreeBSD - it's probably worthwhile
for someone to get it right for some else to use...

 I've been working on this; but it's predicated on a 2.2.X box to
run natd (or ipfw) that stays up for a while...   I've been trying to
get the "dup alloc" problem fixed first.
 
 In the mean time; I've hacked together some things (based on jmb's
recommendation) that should allow me to forward my mail to my ISP...
