What is the From: address that the mail is going out with? This from
address has to be resolvable for a relaying mailserver to accept a
mail. You have to set the From: header to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The
easiest way is to set your login name as sparvi, and put the line
set hostname "bom3.vsnl.net.in"
in your .muttrc.
Other mail readers have a similar functionality. There was a discussion on
this topic in LI last year, IIRC.
