Okay, some RTCF was done :). I changed the above to this and I can now send and recieve local mail: ---------------------- myorigin = $myhostname ---------------------- The problem now is that this works correctly for mail sent using mutt but not from pine. Mails sent to a local user using pine end up in the mailqueue as being addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] On specifying local_user as the recipient in the compose menu of pine, the name is automatically expanded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I unset the domain name from the setup of pine, mails are queued as [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Frankly this pine problem is not very pressing as I personally use mutt but I'd just like to know how I can fix this as linux newbies tend to find pine a far easier beast to use than mutt. I've got two friends I am trying to get to use linux and both prefer pine. thanks, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri Homeopath and Linux Enthusiast.
