Hi - I am having a configuration issue with ( I think) mailtutils and exim... The documentation on mailutils seems spotty. Problem: when sending mail from commandline with slamson:~$ mail -s "test" [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mail gets declined b/c my computer's hostname is not known... I am a trusted mail user on my machine and can do the following slamson~:$ echo "this is a test" | /usr/sbin/exim -f "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" [EMAIL PROTECTED] to fool the ISP that the mail is coming from it's own domain (or I can use other domains like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it still works... I can also carefully compose the mail according to RFC specs so that it is more normal looking (subject, Reply-To, and other proper headers)... BUT - all I want is a simple way to specify a "From" address such that my ISP will receive my mail from user slamson send from "mail" commandline. Anyone familiar with this - even pointing me to the right documentation will be fine (please not mailutils docs - I didnt get anywhere with them and found conflicting versions on gnu's own pages).
