Yes there is definitely a mail log. :)  When I relay a message through 
it now it shows up in the maillog.  But running those commands produced 
no additional output to the terminal or the log file.

Yes, there are messages in the mqueue.  One of the messages shown in 
Webmin as "Sending" is message qfm2BH3dvI001112.  

And there are these matching files in the mqueue directory:
dfm2BH3dvI001112
qfm2BH3dvI001112

The contents of those files looks really funny to me though... but I 
don't know what they are supposed to contain.  Here is the qfm file for 
example:

When I grep the mail log for 2BH3dvI001112 this is what I get:
Mar 11 12:03:39 ns1 sendmail[1112]: m2BH3dvI001112: 
from=<mkruger at cfwebtools.com>, size=360569, class=0, nrcpts=1, 
msgid=<073d01c88399$fe0933b0$3400000a at MUSEDSKTP>, proto=ESMTP, 
daemon=MTA, relay=[10.0.0.6]
Mar 11 12:03:39 ns1 sendmail[1112]: m2BH3dvI001112: 
to=<jason at cfwebtools.com>, delay=00:00:00, mailer=smtp, pri=390569, 
stat=queued

Those are the only entires for that message!  Shouldn't it have tried to 
deliver it right away, or at least by now?

I've restarted sendmail many times today.  And I've doubled checked the 
MX, and what Server1 thinks is the MX, and that it can reach that server 
(server2), etc.

Thanks for the help.
