Hi, I have a small problem with outgoing mail. I have a permanent connection and a static ip-number. The FQDN is cal011205.student.utwente.nl and there is a CNAME, blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl. The primary MX record for blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl points to Cal011205.student.utwente.nl (notice the capital C).
I am following the 'unstable' distribution. I am using smail 3.2.0.92-2 and pine 3.96L-2 for e-mail. I have set the system hostname as well as smail's 'visible name' to 'blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl'. However, when I send mail, smail seems to do a dns lookup on the mail adress or something like that. The 'From:' header in outgoing mail reads "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", when I want the 'From:' line to have the address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". This also happens if I explicitly set the 'From:' header in pine. In the mail logs, there are lines like these: 01/04/1998 01:08:16: [m0xodc0-0013oSC] Received FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] HOST:localhost [127.0.0.1] PROTOCOL:smtp PROGRAM:in.smtpd ORIG-ID:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE:456 IDENT:remco ID-METHOD:rfc1413 01/04/1998 03:49:20: [m0xog7s-0013oSC] Received FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] HOST:blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl HOST:blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl [130.89.222.95] PROTOCOL:esmtp PROGRAM:in.smtpd ORIG-ID:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE:1335 IDENT:remco ID-METHOD:rfc1413 The first on is from me sending with pine, the second one is from fetchmail fetching mail and feeding it to the smtp port. So, it seems to be going wrong when something sends the mail to the smtp port from another address than localhost. Does anybody know why this is happening? Is it a Good Thing(TM)? How can I configure it? Remco -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
