Done that. Sending from the VM, now I get msmtp: the server does not support DSN msmtp: could not send mail (account default from /home/richard/.msmtprc) I tried with no auth and with auth off and get the identical result, unexpectedly. Reading the manual again, I see that DSN is Delivery Status Notification. Although it is the default, I have tried specifying dsn_notify off, but still get the same error. Info on the ISP's smarthost from their site: and we will relay messages that fulfill the following criteria: * The envelope MAIL FROM: address must be routable (i.e. exist and have a valid MX record) * The envelope RCPT TO: address must also be routable. * To connect to the relay your host IP address must be in the Bytemark IP range. * The message must be 20MB or smaller. * Your machine is not sending more than 240 messages every 6 hours. Only the first two could be a problem AFAICS. How do I get to see the envelope msmtp is trying to send? I also ran msmtp -S which gives: SMTP server at smtp.bytemark.co.uk (tallyho.bytemark.co.uk [80.68.81.166]), port 25: tallyho.bytemark.co.uk ESMTP Exim 4.50 Mon, 27 Aug 2007 08:29:32 +0100 Capabilities: SIZE 20971520: Maximum message size is 20971520 bytes = 20.00 MB PIPELINING: Support for command grouping for faster transmission Where now? -- richard -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
