We have three stand alone computers that dial out to
an ISP for internet access.  Eventually, I want to
connect these computers together.

I am running FreeBSD 4.3RC on my PC.  I would like to
be able to dialup my ISP and receive/send email - all
from the command line.  I have successfully configured
the dialup connection.  I have successfully configured
fetchmail to receive emails; and can use mutt to read
them.  I'm having difficulty sending emails, however.

My PC is configured as terrek.datawok.com.  I
registered the name datawok.com some time ago, and
Earthlink redirects all email going to datawok.com to
my Earthlink account.  I made the following changes to
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf:

DSvipmail.earthlink.net
DMdatawok.com

I then restarted sendmail.  When I try to send mail,
Earthlink rejects the mail; indicating that the sender
domain, 'terrek.datawok.com', needs to exist. 
Masquerading does not seem to be working.

I then reconfigured my network so that my host/domain
name is just datawok.com; and restarted sendmail.  I
can now send email.

The problem is that when I network the three computers
at home, I'm want to give each computer full names
(host.domain.com).

Does anyone have any solutions/advice.

Thanks (again),

Andrew Gould
