I'm having trouble sending mail from my hamm machine to some remote addresses.
many addresses, for example 'debian-user@lists.debian.org', receive my mail,
but some mail is bounced immediately. Following is a mail I receive
immediately after trying to send to my email account at my ISP:

I'm gettin a ppp connection to my provider, and this works fine for most email
and for web surfing. In the above example the remote domain is 'netnet.net'
(my ISP), and I am able to surf to their homepage, 'netnet.net'.
I am using the smail 3.2.0.101-4, binary distribution. I am not using a
'routers' file. Following is the start of my 'config' file:
--- beginning of /etc/smail/config excerpt
visible_name=debian
more_hostnames=localhost
-domains
hostnames=debian
max_load_ave=5
smtp_accept_max=20
smtp_accept_queue=10
rfc1413_query_timeout=15
-require_configs
-second_config_file
-qualify_file
-retry_file
copying_file=/usr/doc/smail/copyright
max_message_size=10M
--- end of etc/smail/config excerpt
Thanks for any ideas
