Sendmail...

[Christopher Wagner]

Well, the problem I have with both of your suggestions, although good ones
they are, is that the IP address is a dynamic one..  I'm working on getting
a static IP, but don't have one yet.  Maybe I'll have to suffer for now
until I get a static IP.

You've got an entry in /etc/mail/access something like:
"eli-208-186-244-105.ev1.net RELAY"?

Try putting in "208.186.244.105 RELAY" instead.  (Then it shouldn't need to
check the DNS)
