an easier way could be to install exim als MTA. There you have to
uncommend the last two lines in exim.conf and create a file called
email-addresses in /etc/ with

I did a similar thing to get my smail working.
I use exmh/mh for email. My problem is that the sender field is set to
[EMAIL PROTECTED](FQDN). The user is jmb (or whoever I'm logged
in as) and the hostname is achimota. The network I'm on (from my dial-up ISP)
is ziplink.net. My FQDN ends u

It's my understanding that a Return-Path is the header which
determines where smtp errors go. For e

I have a similar problem.
In the meantime, I am using the "internet site" option (the first one). And I
am adding to my mail the Reply-to field, where I am write my ISP address
([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
I tried to follow something that was posted on the list, which suggets adding

Try using `internet site', but setting the smarthost to your isp's
mail server and selecting `always route through smarthost' or whatever
it is that's similar to that on the list.

Your problem is that you will need to modify your hostname every time you
connect to your PPP host so that your reverse lookup will match your
hostname or you will never be able to send/recieve mail.
There IS an alternative.
If you can find someone that will act as a smarthost for you that is al

Yes, it will. I was faced wit
In smailconfig, you must choose option (1), then after several
more questions, you give your ISP's mail server's name in response to:

Alan,
I should have answered this too.
Mail is sent by the runq command, which in turn is run from
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/mail. This should have a command like
3,23,43 * * * * runq
To fix this, su to mail and run
crontab -e
If this is not the trouble we need expert help.
