Mail never goes to mn.mtu.net.  I suppose if it would then it should goto
disk.mn.mtu.net.  I always address my mail as jpschewe@disk.mn.mtu.net or
jpschewe@eggplant.mn.mtu.net, so it knows which machine to goto.  I just tried
adding mn.mtu.net to /etc/sendmail.cw on disk.mn.mtu.net and still no luck.
It's almost as if the mail never gets off eggplant.mn.mtu.net.  I'm sending
mail from eggplant to disk, disk has sendmail always running as a daemon,
eggplant does not have sendmail running, but /etc/sendmail.cf on eggplant has
disk as the smart host.
