Hi all, With the recent (long) thread about the increase in spam from the mailing list, it occured to me to ask if anyone has any suggestions for a sane envelope sender for outgoing emails.
I have numerous email accounts, but am permanently behind a firewall. The firewall only allows me access to the one smtp server, which I use as a smart-host to forward my outgoing mail. Yet I don't have an account on that server to receive mail to, and my home box, also behind the firewall, can't receive outside mail (or any sort of outside connection). I'm using qmail on my local machine, which makes it easy to set the envelope sender ($QMAILHOST and $QMAILUSER), yet I'm not exactly sure what it should be set as. At the moment, it's set as one of my email accounts (using the FQDN as the domain name, as some mail servers complain if the envelope domain is not resolvable, so you can't just use the MX name). Is that the best solution, or is there something more `correct'. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller :: Department of Criminology :: University of Melbourne Homicide is, no matter what else it might be, a social relationship. -- Paul Bonnana
