Nick -- ...and then Nick Wilson said... % % Hi again!
Hiya! % % I'm having a problem posting to another list. I get this from time to % time on various addresses and in various situations. Interesting that it's not on all mail that you send... % % All of my mail is grabbed by fetchmail and sorted by procmail and then % read by mutt. Not important in this context; don't worry. % % In my muttrc I have set the hostname="localhost" 'cos that's what it is. You really should pick a cool name for your machine, you know :-) % % Problem is I keep getting failure to deliver notices. % Why, and what can I do? Because some mailers care from whence the message comes because they don't want to deliver any spam (among other things). % % Here follows one of the transcripts for those that understand such % things..... % % % From nick Fri Jan 11 18:14:37 2002 % Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... % ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- % [EMAIL PROTECTED] % (reason: 501 5.1.8 Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist) Do you have $envelope_from set? If not, are you forcing it ing in your $sendmail setting? If not, do you have your MTA configured to announce something else (really doubtful by now)? Finally, can you send mail to such an address with /bin/mail or the like?
