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 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
