Exim / sending mail from dial-up machine w correct sender address

[Endrey Balint]

Hello,

I have Slink on my home machine. I used eximconfig to set up exim for a
dialup system using smarthost, and I accepted the default values.

The parameter qualify_domain defaulted to 'mikszath' which is the home-made
name of my machine and is not related to any real domain names. When I tried
to send out a message, the delivery failed:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
    SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:
    <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=1473:
    host mail.digitel2002.hu [194.9.67.1]:
    501 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... invalid host name mikszath, check your
+configuration.

Apparently the ISP's SMTP server required a valid host name.
If I changed qualify_domain to any valid name (e.g. mail.digitel2002.hu),
the
delivery worked but when I checked the header of the delivered message, it
looked like this:

>From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jun 13 22:03:06 1999
(...)
From: Balint <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  (that's what I set up in Mutt)
(...)
Sender: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(...)

which makes no sense since this address is an invalid combination of my
local username and the specified qualify_domain and I guess this causes
problems when returning some mail.

I also checked how the same message looks like if I send it from Windows
(OE5); it had no Sender: field and the starting From line contained the
same address as in the Form: field, i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So, my question is how to set up exim (and my mail client?) so that I
could specify those Sender/From/Return-path etc. header fields to
be the address I prefer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Thanks
Balint
