hi,
...mind if i join in the fun?
i can follow mr. deackes's info, and thx for providing it.
using mutt, i can compose and send an email. but the "from" line has the
incorrect sender address ("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). btw, "bt" is my non-root
user
account. my email addy is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (so, i need to change,
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the "from" line of emails.) do i
have to
adduser "pplaw" to the box and then login as "pplaw"? (i'd rather not have to
do
this, but i certally will if it's the only way it'll work.)
ia, t.
