I normally use Linux to receive mails , not to send any . And I use PINE/fetchmail on my Linux box. What I have done is I created a login ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) of the same name as my account at my ISP([EMAIL PROTECTED]) , then configured .fetchmailrc and PINE for this login. It fetches the mail properly. But , when I try to send mails I get some errors , (indicated below my mail) , and also some advice - kind of message : "Your _____ does not do resolution of email addresses. Add MX records _____"
I do nor remember the full thing . My doubts are : 1) Does the whole thing mean that I have to add some "MX" records to my /etc/resolv.conf ? 2)What is MX ? 3) How do I add these records and where ? Well , basically I can send mails from PINE on Linux to myself , and then receive it either in Liux (fetchmail) or on windoze (M$ Outlook) . So , I gather , mainly the problem is with the with the Mailing-lists. Please guide me on this . Thanks in advance.
