sorry, my cut and paste didn't work properly, that should have been: myorigin = casa-conqui.com (left off the .com)

The one that may actually fix your problem is: myorigin = casa-conqui put that in main.cf and you should be off and running... rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Admin Sent: Tuesday, 30 October 2001 2:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Pine/Postfix/Sendmail - Franki Hello: I made the changes to mydomain and myhostname in the "INTERNET HOST AND DOMAIN NAMES" in the main.cf file, with no apparent improvement in my return email address when I compose a message.
