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.

Regards,

Francis
