Uh.. 'tarot' has two interfaces. The private interface is 'tarot.mentasm.org' which resolves by my local DNS server with IP address of 192.168.1.1. The public interface is ferret.phonewave.net, which is a fixed IP address provided by my ISP. Tarot's mailer is configured to do header rewriting on any mails which leave my network, by converting addresses of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It looks like the mail leaving the DHCP client 'bicycle' does not use the FQDN, which would be 'bicycle'+'.'+'mentasm.org' on this network. My server's exim.conf was attached in the original message. Perhaps someone could suggest an alternate rewrite rule? -- Ferret > [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 17.02.2001 20:57:43 > > An: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Kopie: (Blindkopie: Martin Tanzer/dvs/DE) > Blindkopie: Martin Tanzer/dvs/DE > Thema: Can't send email from machine configured for DHCP [Virus checked by > dvs > Leipzig] > > > > > Okay.
