That is true... And I may be confusing something here. I've only
recently installed and experimented with qmail, having run only
`sendmail' in the past. To make sendmail work, I had to masquerade
the newsguy.com domain, and masquerade the Envelope as newsguy.com as
well.
Further I also had to list my local ISP s mail machine
(mail.networkone.net)as SMART_HOST or relaying would be denied.
I assumed these things would need to be done with qmail as well,
although perhaps differently.
Trying out your suggestion and setting MAILHOST=newsguy.com in
~/.bash_profile, and removing the /var/qmail/defaulthost file, my
mail is not being sent now.

It appears that my `Sender' line is being rejected since it does not
resolve.
How can I correct this without masquerading newsguy.com?
