	Looking at the trace, there is a problem beyond the lack
of a defined hostname.  Notably, the connect was back to itself.
I'm surprised it didn't give you an immediate "Mail loops back
to myself" error.

	For starters, I'd verify that both the queues are empty,
both the client queue (-Ac) and the server queue.

	Then I'd hae a look at the mail logs (/var/log/maillog?)
and look for transaction k1AKAeJt002910. Finding those lines in
the log file will tell you a great deal about what happened to
the message.
