I'm not sure what you mean here... are you just referring to the fact that I can't receive e-mail as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", since "drollden" isn't actually known to ibm's nameserver? I think it's inews that needs this information rather than trn, since trn doesn't do posting on its own... according to the man pages, what I need is a fromhost: line in /etc/news/inn.conf. (OTOH, I don't have such a file, so I'm wondering if the debian inewsinn package puts the configuration file somewhere else. Still, I'll try copying the example inn.conf and see if it works.) > So fix your /etc/hosts > > Try hostname and dnsdomainname again and then trn. Okay, dnsdomainname now returns "ibm.net", and trn failed to produce any errors when I did a test post. I forgot to take care of the fromhost thing, so my test post probably went out as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", but that shouldn't be too hard to correct. Thanks for all your help! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
