Hi, Well thanks to help from Art, Carey, Daniel, and Martin I think we have the problem narrowed down to the envelope sender (MAIL FROM: in the SMTP dialog). If I connect to the mail server with telnet as Carey suggested, everything is fine. Netscape also has no problem generating mail with the correct headers. Is there a way to get smail to use the From: line as the MAIL FROM: line?
I'm having problems with sites rejecting my mail because of these headers. My own isp rejects my mail to their smart host because of this envelope problem. Is smail really a good choice for the default MTA? As more sites implement anti-spam features I imagine new linux users could become very frustrated when their mail doesn't work as well as it does on win95. qmail looks like it handles this problem (according to Carey and the first couple questions in the qmail FAQ.) But new users may ignore software they have to compile. -- Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) Next Level Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
