... while talking to mail.navitaire.com.:
>>> MAIL From:<henninb@trinity.the-matrix.net> SIZE=389
<<< 553 5.1.8 <henninb@trinity.the-matrix.net>... Domain of sender address henni
nb@trinity.the-matrix.net does not exist


the error seems to point to the domain name of my internal network... is there a
way to change this such that the  server will accept my emial?

thanks,
brian
