Hi, I recently installed 3.3-STABLE, and am trying to get my mail to work correctly. My setup is simple, and I would assume fairly typical. My home machine is connected via cable to my ISP (@Home in this case) I have a dhcp assigned IP, and my hostname is c583119-a (assigned by dhcp). The FQDN is c583119-a.potlnd.or.home.com. the LAN I'm on has a mail server "mail" (I have the IP #), and I have a POP3 account on the server fjbruening. I can send and recieve mail to my mail server address "fjbruening@home.com", which is what I want to be able to do. My problem: (there are 2) I'm using mutt, and often mail gets bounced because I get a msg saying "sender domain must exist..." I fixed that by modifying a line in my muttrc "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -ffjbruening@<FQDN of mail server>" Now, however the return address people see from me is "c583119-a.potlnd.or.home.com", which they can't get to... 1) whats the easiest way to supply the reply address of "fjbruening@home.com" 2) is the muttrc fix for being a 'real' account the right way to fix this? thanks in advance.
