Ok, i've got sendmail using my isp's smtp server to send mail. I've
tried it manually i.e:
<smtp_session>
> telnet localhost 110
- ok esmtp ...
mail from: some_user@some_real_domain
- sender ok
rcpt to: me@myhost
- recipient ok
data
- enter data
hello, this is a test.
.
</smtp_session>
It worked fine. Only problem is when I try to send from the "mail"
program it returns it to me saying that the sender's domain must
really exist. In other words mail tries something like "mail from:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and then recieves an error from smtp.
My question is, how do I get around this? How can i make mail (and
other mail like programs) to use some other email address as the
sender?
Am i going about this all wrong?
