Great. I've ask the recipient to ask the postmaster from more information.
I have two more queries (apologies in advance for their mundane nature):
1. I am running mutt on my SuSE linux pc a home as under a "user" account. I am using
sendmail and fetchmail to do the dirty work. My method of sending mail is this:
After mutt has given me the "mail sent" message I become superuser and type
$ sendmail -q
My question is:
Is this standard proceedure? Or should mutt be telling sendmail "hey, send this mail
now"
to which sendmail responds "sure sending mail now"? If so how should I configure this
considering I'm using mutt as a "user" so I don't get those annoying "permission
denied" messages.
Also where should I change the config in my ~/.muttrc or /etc/Muttrc?
2. With regard to undelivered mail. I was told to set envelope_from but when I set it
in /etc/Muttrc
I get X-Athentification-Warning hearders on my mail. Is this because I need to set my
user account
to trusted user? if so how?
