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

Hi,
some sites mail spam rejects my mail because my hostname is not
qualified.
So how do I config smail to make sure my host name is qualified. I
had a look at the man page about /etc/smail/qualify... but don't really
understand what to do with it...
Thx.

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.

I have what must be a common mail setup, but I've never figured out the
"right" way to configure smail.
I connect to the Internet from my home machine by ppp through a commercial
service provider, with dynamic IP.

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.

My preferred login on my machine is not the same as my userid

under Win 95 all mail got sent to the ISP to do this.

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

To fix this, su to mail and run
