Hi,
A while back I read a post that to be able to post on this group you would
have to have a real domain name or something like that. I use my computer at
home with freebsd 2.2.5 on it.
I use fetchmail to download my mail from my ISP and mutt to mail and read
it. I have sendmail masquarading as my ISP so my from name comes out right
on my headers.
I still get mail kicked back from this group with error messages.
My hostname of my machine was left at myname.my.domain.
Do I need to change this and if so to what.
Do I just pick a name?
THanks Alot
