I don't want to learn the theory of sendmail - I just want to make a simple change. I want to send an email from a FreeBSD computer that is on an internal network called montlan. I am sending the email to another computer, called cauchy, that is outside of the network. The computer cauchy is not accepting the email - it complains with the following message: The original message was received at Sun, 6 Oct 2002 12:01:14 -0500 (CDT) from triangle@localhost.client.mchsi.com [127.0.0.1] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- (reason: 553 5.1.8 ... Domain of sender address triangle@hub.montlan does not exist) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to cauchy.math.missouri.edu.: >>> MAIL From: SIZE=391 <<< 553 5.1.8 ... Domain of sender address triangle@hub.montlan does not exist 501 5.6.0 Data format error So somehow I need to tell the sendmail on hub.montlan to advertise the name xx-xxx-xxx-xxx.client.mchsi.com (which is the true name of the connection) rather than hub.montlan. Alternatively, I could tell cauchy to accept emails from hub.montlan even though the domain does not actually exist. So how would I make changes to the sendmail configuration to bring about these changes? -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
