i've got a problem configuring my system for email. i'm running potato. exim is my mta, mutt and mail are my muas, and i use fetchmail to retrieve pop mail. i have a dialup connection with a dynamic ip that is connected 24/7. my computer is on a tcp/ip lan (with 3 windows computers) and i have a dyn.ml.org account with monolith. here are the things i want to be able to do:
(1) email local users via mail with the sender domain being the lan (2) email internet addresses via mutt with the sender domain being my isp, and the reply-to domain being bigfoot.com (an email forwarding service) not too hard, i thought i have internet mail working. in order to get my isp to deliver the mail i attempted to send, i had to change the default sender domain in exim.conf to my isp. a vi of my mailbox after emailing myself shows that the sender is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", which isn't my user id at my isp -- my user id is jhonold. my account on this computer is named dogbert. my isp doesn't care, because it comes from their domain. that's fine. the from field is [EMAIL PROTECTED], and the reply-to is [EMAIL PROTECTED] this, however, means that unaltered my reply-to will be [EMAIL PROTECTED], which isn't my email address. if i use mail to send some local mail to a user on this machine, the reply-to will be [EMAIL PROTECTED] i would like to configure mutt so that the sender, from, and reply-to fields are correct, but keep the default to my lan, so i could send lan mail with a correct reply-to with mail. how can i pull this off? -- justin honold [EMAIL PROTECTED]
