Hi,

I've been playing around with various MTA, just for the fun of it
mainly, with my Linux box here. I've managed to get fetchmail working to
pick up mail from a pop server and put it in /var/spool/mail, which can
then be accessed by any mail client on my system. My problem is that I
can't seem to get any local program to successfully spool and deliver
mail. What I want is for postfix (sendmail's config file scared me :-)
to accept mail and then send it to my ISP's (read uni's) smtp server to
be delivered. Looking at my log files, I keep getting an error message
saying 'Sender domain must exist' - it's trying to use the name I've
given my machine for my local home network, which doesn't exist anywhere
else. So how do I go about setting the domain name to what it expects?
It also appears to be using my local user name, which doesn't match up
to what the smtp server wants - is it possible to change this somewhere?
I've followed the instructions given by the author of postfix, but
they're not really suited to my situation. I guess what I'm asking is
does anybody know of doco's that'll help me set up my machine to use
postfix over a dialup connection?
Please help before my /var/spool/mqueue overwhelms the world with
undelivered mail. :-)

Tom
