The problem appears to be that your email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and your local machine login is stan@<somthing here> I guess the easiest way is to alias stanb to stan. And you might also set up complex routing for email [or domain routing if you own the domain] in sendmail so that sendmail will not want to contact external server if the mail is to you. ie. first set up the routing that if you write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the e-mail never leaves your local mail server just gets routed to you. What is the easiest way of doing this? linuxconf then go to Networking->Mail delivery system (sendmail) and either set up complex routing or domain routing [for latter you will need aliases as only domain gets rewritten]. Hope this helps a bit, Adam
