Do not log on as root to send and receive mail. Create a user called
zokiphoto using the adduser command and use that account to send and
receive your mail. This will make your from address [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In case you do not know how to use the adduser command just do at the
prompt as root:
adduser zokiphoto
Then do the command:
passwd zokiphoto
You'll then be prompted for the password you want to use with the user
account zokiphoto.
If it wasn't broken I wouldn't be trying to fix it!!!
