Right this minute I am in a hotel room connected to the internet through ISP (earthlink.net). My laptop username is (jim), however (jim) is not my Earthlink login. What happens is, Netscape picks up my machine username and attaches it to the domain name of my outgoing SMTP server. This results in jim@earthlink.net. Not Correct!! Suppose my Earthlink login name is (fuzzyduck). The way I look at it, the Sender: field should be fuzzyduck@earthlink.net. As I said, this would solve the problem since fuzzyduck@earthlink.net would be a valid email address. -- Jim Weeks jim@siteplus.com http://siteplus.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
