I just tried to send the below message, but I tried to process it which resulted in failed mail. So here it is again: I am having problems sending mail from my server BSD box. I receive a MAILER DAEMON reply when I try to send a message with the following contents: #----------------------------------------------------------------------- #From MAILER-DAEMON Thu Nov 9 10:53:48 2000 #Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2000 10:53:48 GMT #From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON> #To: ant #Subject: Returned mail: Data format error # #[-- Attachment #1 --] #[-- Type: text/plain, Encoding: 7bit, Size: 0.4K --] # #The original message was received at Thu, 9 Nov 2000 10:53:47 GMT #from ant@localhost # #----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- #adf5j@virginia.edu # #----- Transcript of session follows ----- #... while talking to mail.virginia.edu.: #>>> MAIL From:<ant@thewall.mydomain.tld> #<<< 501 Sender domain must exist #501 adf5j@virginia.edu...

My domain name exists and is registered. I use mutt as my mail client, so I have tried setting the headers to be me@mydomain.tld rather than me@myhostname.mydomainname.tld, but this didn't seem to do anything. I feel like this should be a simple problem to fix, but I haven't managed to find the solution anywhere. Does anyone know a quick solution to this? TIA, -anthony.
