Hello, I have a system which has a dialup internet connection. That is it has a different IP address and a different real hostname each time a connection is established. Since it doesn't need any access from the internet it only has a local hostname which has no meaning in the internet. Using mutt/sendmail I can send mail outbound using an address which is located on a public server. Using send-pr I can set a From: field. But sendmail can't forward the message to an external smarthost since the local username/hostname seems to be used (in the envelope?). I only succeeded to send a problem report after setting the hostname to the current public internet hostname (according the dialup IP address). Is there a better way to send prs from system with dynamic IP address? -Hanspeter
