I get:
Trying 69.57.150.26...
And it just sits there.

I get this:
[root mystique root]# sendmail -bt -d0.1 </dev/null
Version 8.12.8
 Compiled with: DNSMAP HESIOD HES_GETMAILHOST LDAPMAP LOG MAP_REGEX
                MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NETINET
NETINET6
                NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING SASL SCANF STARTTLS
TCPWRAPPERS
                USERDB USE_LDAP_INIT

============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
      (short domain name) $w = winlit
  (canonical domain name) $j = winlit.org
         (subdomain name) $m = org
              (node name) $k = mystique.winnefox.org
========================================================

ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>

Now, the machine name is mystique. One of the domains I have hosted on
that machine is winlit.org. Shouldn't the canonical domain name have
something to do with mystique? Also, I don't have mystique.winnefox.org
registered with dns, should it be?

Yeah, same problem. I must have just grabbed one that had been trying
for a while. Here's output from the bottom of mailq:

h6UCACSC011093        1 Wed Jul 30 07:10 <ellis winlit org>
