Hi Alan, I may have the answer. I have my "visible name " set to that of my ISP which is cleo.murdoch.edu.au. This means that all replies get sent to the right place. It took me a while to get the right combination in the config and I made a note of how I did it for future reference.
elm $> cat /etc/smail/notes smail configured thus: yes, an internet site no smarthost then /etc/smail/config edited to remove cleo from 'hostnames=' Short, simple and effective.
