Send mail from outside a firewalll via Mail.app

I had to take it upon myself to solve this problem...

Even though I had made changes to /etc/hosts, lookupd (the prog that reads and caches the file, among other sources of info) wasn't configured to even read Flat Files.

The solution is to change the line in /etc/lookupd/hosts:
LookupOrder CacheAgent NIAgent DNSAgent FFAgent

The key: make sure 'FFAgent' is in the LookupOrder. Otherwise your changes won't even be noticed.
