I am having problems sending mail from my server BSD box. I receive a MAILER DAEMON reply when I try to send a message with the following contents: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- From MAILER-DAEMON Thu Nov 9 10:53:48 2000 Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2000 10:53:48 GMT From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON> To: ant Subject: Returned mail: Data format error [-- Attachment #1 --] [-- Type: text/plain, Encoding: 7bit, Size: 0.4K --] The original message was received at Thu, 9 Nov 2000 10:53:47 GMT from ant@localhost ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- adf5j@virginia.edu ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to mail.virginia.edu.: >>> MAIL From:<ant@thewall.mydomain.tld> <<< 501 Sender domain must exist 501 adf5j@virginia.edu...

My domain name exists and is registered. I use mutt as my mail client, so I have tried setting the headers to be me@mydomain.tld rather than me@myhostname.mydomainname.tld, but this didn't seem to do anything. I feel like this should be a simple problem to fix, but I haven't managed to find the solution anywhere. Does anyone know a quick solution to this? TIA, -anthony.
