Mail Problem
Hi All,

I am having a problem that is very similar to the one being discussed here. I am using OS X and am trying to send mail from the OS X Terminal to my GMail account. The mail seems to go through, but gets stuck at Google's servers. I have a log file from the /var/mail directory that shows the errors that I received. I can post the text of the log file in this forum if that would help you to diagnose the issue. Please let me know what information you need, and I will provide it to you.

Thank you so much!

--Daniel
