Not sure I completely understand what you guys want to do. If your username on your machine is different to your email username then you need to change the exim.conf (I see you are using smail, David, can't help there) at the end where it mentions rewriting. A friend of mine is 'ant' when he logs on to his Linux box, but his email address starts 'akjohnson'. This is what we had to do to the exim.conf: # Rewrite From , From;, Sender: och Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffsr (Info gleaned from another member of this list BTW!) Initially Exim will see all outgoing mail as coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and will rewrite the headers to show it as coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] The other issue, Fetchmail, is easy. In your .fetchmailrc you need a line like this: username scgf is gsmh on this system This means your IP's POP3 server is expecting a logon as user scgf, but all mail collected will be processed by your box as if it were for user gsmh. Sorry if I have misunderstood what you needed to know. Take care. -- Phillip Deackes Debian Linux (Potato)
