I am using mutt on an internal screened network and it seems that somehow my hostname
and domainname are not getting put together properly. Let me explain.
My FQDN machine name is bnoble.inhouse.us.lan (this is not the actual name) and the
mail server that I am using is named mail.us.lan (again, this mail server is only
internal). But, when the email goes out it should use a header of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as the sender. It does not do this as it should. My email goes
out with the sendname of [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hence, some mail servers that I am sending to cannot resolve the sender domain and
never accept the email. (This is a guess, but I see the mail still in my queue as
"deferred" for this reason) I think that they think I am trying to relay mail or
something.
I can use netscape messenger on my system to send email to the same mail servers that
are complaining about the mutt mail without a problem. This leads me to believe that
mutt is at issue rather than any network configuration on my side (which I still
highly suspect, but cannot prove given the fact that netscape msgr works fine).
Any ideas?
