Quoting Christopher W. Aiken <cwaiken@telerama.com>: [000906 04:02]: Christopher W. Aiken> Christopher W. Aiken> Christopher W.

You'll configure sendmail (your problem is not with mutt) to dump all outbound mail at your ISP's mail server which will in turn send the mail to the final destination. The problem, I suspect, is about DNS. Your host is failing the reverse name resolution test. This could be due to the fact that your IP address is dynamically allocated from your ISP. -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Systems Administrator Inter-Connect Ltd. 3rd Flr The Chancery Valley Rd PO Box 39519 Nairobi, KENYA Tel: 254 2 711140 Fax: 254 2 718418 A boy's will is the wind's will, and the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "My Lost Youth" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
