Right now I feel rather like a dunce. I didn't configure sendmail... The
below link helped though. Once I setup the smtp address, the test mail
dropped in.

-mta/
To my defense I must say, I've never dealt with sendmail before... This is a
first. 8-}
Anyway, seems like all (most visible things anyway) are in working order
now.
Thanks all for your help and suggestions, you've been stellar so far!
