The problem is the smtp on the raq. Its complaining because the domain name
on the sender's address (you, in the cgi), is not resolving. If you're
piping to sendmail in the cgi, sendmail takes the user that the cgi runs as
under cgi wrap, and it gets the domain from the host name of the machine.
The quick fix is to set up a DNS entry for your machine's host name.
