I am running FBSD 3.4R and am connected to the internet via @HOME (I
hope it's ok to use their name. =o) cable modem.

When I send email via 'mail' from the command line I get:

jfreeze@eeyore1 -> mail -v -s "hi" jim@freeze.org

'.'

jim@freeze.org... Connecting to www.freeze.org. via esmtp...

I don't understand why in 250 my domain is correct but not in 501.

The from domain is

501 <jfreeze@lxintn1.ky.home.com>... Sender domain must exist

instead of

250-freeze.org Hello ci590846-b.lxintn1.ky.home.com [24.9.218.175],

I would think it would be obvious to change this, but I can't find where.

Can some mail guru help me out here?

Thanks
