Well, your From header is correct (it doesn't have the werich part), but that is not the problem. The rejection happens at the stage where your sendmail is sending the envelope sender information, not the From header. So even though your From header is correct, the envelope sender is still marked as [EMAIL PROTECTED] There's (at least) two ways to fix this. The simpler is probably to set $envelope_from in your .muttrc, this makes Mutt pick the address from the From header and use that as the evenlope sener. The second approach is to customize the sendmail command (the $sendmail Mutt variable) and set up your envelope sender address in that, with the -f switch. This way the envelope sender isn't dependent on the From address, should that be an issue for you. Hope this helps, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

bouncing emails from temp. domain
Hello, I have a lunux setup and a temporary dialup connection. Sometimes when I try to send somebody email it gets bounced with the following complaint: - Transcript of session follows - ... while talking to mx0.gmx.de.: >>> MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BODY=8BITMIME <<< 550 Cannot resolve your domain - ungueltiger Domain-Name in Adresse 554 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Service unavailable --UAA00925.959908551/werich.enteract.com Content-Type: message/delivery-status Reporting-MTA: dns; werich.enteract.com Arrival-Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 20:15:49 -0500 Final-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 Remote-MTA: DNS; mx0.gmx.de Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 550 Cannot resolve your domain - ungueltiger Domain-Name i n Adresse Last-Attempt-Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 20:15:51 -0500 --UAA00925.959908551/werich.enteract.com Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Return-Path: Received: (from gibby@localhost) by werich.enteract.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA00923 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Thu, 1 Jun 2000 20:15:49 -0500 Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 20:15:49 -0500 From: Andrew Eichmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Max_K=FCnemann?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: device busy / ZIP-drive Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Now, it appears that it's complaining that DNS can't find werich.enteract.com, which is my linux box's domain name. I have the following in my muttrc: my_hdr Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set hidden_host set hostname="enteract.com" I used to run pine, and didn't have this problem after I forced the header to say [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry if this has been covered; I searched the archives for ``bounce''... Thanks, Andy
