It sounds like you have sendmail configured to use speedfactory.net as
your domain.  You need to setup sendmail to use your ISP's SMTP server
as a smarthost for outbound mail, and to use your internal domain for
inbound mail.

Of course, configuring sendmail is the trick ;-)

I don't know why pine would be unable to read messages in your mail
queue, though.  I've never used pine, so I can't help there.

HTH,
Jason
