Weird. It doesn't do this when I telnet to it locally: $ telnet blaakmeer smtp Trying 130.89.222.95... Connected to blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl. Escape character is '^]'. 220-blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl Smail-3.2.0.100 (#2 1998-Jan-13) ready at Mon, 9 Mar 1998 01:52:05 +0100 (CET) 220 ESMTP supported quit 221 blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl closing connection Connection closed by foreign host. $ > Try this: > > hostnames=blaakmeer:cal011205 > domains=student.utwente.nl > > (note those hostnames must be in that order!) This should cause smail > to use blaakmeer as its true hostname but also accept mail addressed to > cal011205 as local. I am sorry, but this doesn't help. This is what I had (and have again) in the config file: visible_name=blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl -domains hostnames=blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl:blaakmeer:cal011205.student.utwente.nl:cal011205:remco:remcob:localhost (remco and remcob are aliases used only by a few friends that put them in their /etc/hosts file) Is this 'bad' or 'wrong' in any way? > Note that your mail shows the correct From: header, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, I know. This could mean that the problem lies on the receiving end. I'll try to send mail between hosts running Debian smail tomorrow. Remco -- blaakmeer: 1:45am up 6 days, 6:14, 9 users, load average: 1.19, 1.38, 1.40 -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble?
