Hi,
you cannot set your qualify domain as @hotmail.com. It is not yours
net domain.
The field qualify_domain should be filled in with yours net name. To
the field "from" on your outgoing mail be correct you need to edit
the file /etc/email-addresses. Put a line like:
your_system_logon: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This way your system will replace the [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
[EMAIL PROTECTED] but won`t take the messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
as locals.
