Hi everyone!

I'm a total stranger to the Unix world... too long have I dwelled in the
Windows area, and now I'm searching
for new horizons and worlds to explore... the Unix world. I looked around
and found FreeBSD interesting
enough to install... and here I am with a strange problem:

I installed FreeBSD 5.0-Release and got the system running. So far - so
good.
Second task: Install bind and get the DNS running. So far - so good - at
least I think so.

Third task was to get my email work... and now the problems begins.

I own the domain beutler.se, and my computers name is visthusboden.
The server accepts incoming mail all right - no problems there... BUT...
...whatever I do, all outgoing mail get the address
[EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What am I doing wrong?

You didn't visit http://www.postfix.org/ :)


Without wishing to start a flame war, if you are just starting out with smtp on Unix, I would recommend skipping Sendmail using Postfix instead. Having used both (sendmail for years, postfix for months), I wouldn't want to go back to Sendmail even if you paid me. Postfix is a joy to use. I don't think anyone will say that about sendmail.

And the configuration files are human-readable.
