No. It probably means that the FreeBSD mail server has rejected your e-mail as part of it's anti-spam settings. It's very strict about accepting only absolutely correctly addressed e-mails. If the e-mail isn't up to scratch, it will be silently dropped into /dev/null. One thing that will often trip you up when using send-pr(1) is having sendmail(8) correctly set up on the local machine -- most mail programs such as Thunderbird will speak directly to your ISPs smart mail host and will fill in the correct e-mail addresses for you. One thing that will cause your e-mail to be instantly rejected is if it is sent using an unreachable 'From' address. You can fill in the correct address in the send-pr(1) editing screen, but it's easier in the long run to configure sendmail to insert appropriate addresses automatically. The 'MASQUERADE' features of sendmail are generally what you need to do that, although there are other mechanisms available. Look for the documentation in /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README on: MASQUERADE_AS(`example.com') FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope') Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 8 Dane Court Manor School Rd PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Tilmanstone Tel: +44 1304 617253 Kent, CT14 0JL UK --k+w/mQv8wyuph6w0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iQCVAwUBQf9BpZr7OpndfbmCAQJitQP/aaUz4SSBRe23cgFx2QqEJE2zA+bC9+/E 0QiTfL2+m+nXG3NM8yAEbYN2keybjO/ZNvBEypX4fxW2QoLwWFt7wOxe9vSnh4L9 GgIkXxbUxK+v1vc0VXl/ArvFOObUZvhlyJt5ZUdr480vljmDNFt6dXTmoSwS+shg OajUfMNkd4M= =b075 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --k+w/mQv8wyuph6w0--
