HI, I've got my learn on and trying to get basic mail configured. Presently, I'm using mutt + sendmail + fetchmail. I figured how to *receive and read* mail via mutt/fetchmail, but I can't figure out how to send. On my local FBSD listserv, some people say I have a sendmail problem, some say mutt. Maybe ya'll could help me figure it out?
I just have a home network. My FBSD box's IP is 192.168.x.x, going through a home gateway with two IPs of course, one private, one public. I told FBSD my domain is "localdomain". My computer's name is "Sunny" if that helps. Sunny is not my ISP logon name. I created a .muttrc file in my home directory which says this: set folder=~/Mail set alias_file=.alias set postponed=.postponed set record=SendMessages set signature=.signature my_hdr From: VB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> source =.alias I also created a subdirectory, Mail, and added a .alias file and .signature file. Then I edited these in sendmail.cf: # who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading)" [EMAIL PROTECTED] and # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSgetnet.com and Dj$ getnet.com Then I opened mutt and tried to send a message, but it was returned. The mail error message I don't understand: "sorry, your envelope sender domain must exist". Please, what does the message mean, and what more should I do to enable myself to send messages? Full message text below.
