Hey Benjamin, I just wanted to let you know that these instructions worked very well.

As soon as I was finished with this how-to, it worked perfectly.

I believe Rodolfo (who you mentioned) sent me a reply from a question I had when I first started setting up this box.

That might be a place for me to start....
Thanks, Yves
Yves,
You're getting the appropriate response from sendmail. You do not want to
have your email server be an open relay (allowing folks from outside your
server sending email to others outside of your system) because then the spam
folks will take over your email server.
If you are away from the system, the solution to this problem is usually one
of two things:
1) Log in via ssh and use a text email client such as pine or mutt
2) set up smtp-auth and use a client that supports this protocol.
smtp-auth will allow your outside client to prove that it has the authority
to relay mail, if set up correctly.
Rodolfo and I are collaborating on a step-by-step HOWTO on getting a fully
functioning, fully secure email server set up. I imagine that it'll take us
a few weeks before we have anything remotely releasable, so if you can't
wait, I'd start googling for smtp-auth and see what you can come up with.
Sorry, and I hope that helps,
Ben
