It seems appropriate, given the available choices and their terse descriptions, but it's wrong. Better than a "big warning" and no harder to implement would be to add the choice "dialup system". > ...I'd now conclude that it's _definitely_ your smarthost,...

I recently had a similar problem when my isp put in some sort of anti-spam-relay stuff. It turns out that they don't care what my From: line says, but they require that the FROM address used in the smtp transaction be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I now have "visible_name" set to "my.isp.net". This works fine for my machine, but mail from my wife's computer goes out with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@my.isp.net". My isp doesn't care, but a few picky systems bounce such mail. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
