I've had to take care of this by setting QMAILSHOST in my environment. Aaron

You might want to use the environment variable QMAILHOST to set this for you.

Using mutt and qmail.
I'm no Linux expert and have some questions regarding mail handling. My system is PentiumII, RedHat 6.1, kernel 2.2.13 and qmail 1.03 without tcpserver and such recommended stuff (it works without so far). I'm using KDE 1.1.2 (I think) and qmail was installed before upgrading RH from 5.2 to 6.x (first 6.0, then 6.1). After which qmail claims to be dead, but runs all the same - seems quite ok! ;-/ 1) Some days ago on this list, some guys were discussing whether Return-Path is set by the MUA or the MTA. This is an issue for me as I have (had?) problems with this, using mutt. Even if I try to include a "my_hdr" it will not work; my mail is refused by my ISP because "sender domain must exist", and of course Return-Path <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (my local machine) does not exist. I want Return-Path to be <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Reading docs I discover that qmail-inject strips away any occurence of Return-Path (the person arguing that this header value was solely a matter of the MUA must be wrong, or I'm missing something?). I have now made a change in .muttrc (set sendmail="..qmail-inject [EMAIL PROTECTED]") and it might be working now. Hopefully there is no drawbacks(?) Anyone who wants to comment on this (and perhaps explaing "things" to me)? ;-) Perhaps there are better ways to set the correct Return-Path. 2) Perhaps this is a mutt question, but is it possible to prevent my outoing mail to be sent immediately (my router making a call for every single mail)? With KMail this was no problem as KMail did not send until requested. If this isn't easily solved from mutt, is there a way to configure qmail to not send remote mail until requested or something like that? Seems to me that that would be the preferred way.
