I thought that I had this issue resolved,  but, alas, I was wrong.

What I want to do is be able to send e-mail from the console.=20

The basic purpose for this is to be able have a script that compares the =
currently DHCP assigned IP address of an interface. If the address is =
different from the previously configured address, an e-mail message will =
get sent to me at work with the new address.

Because this system is at home, connected to my cable modem, I do not =
have a permanent IP, nor do I have a registered domain name for my =
system.

Whenever I try to send an e-mail using snedmail I eventually get a =
message stating the following: (reason: 501 5.1.8 =
root@myhostname.myisps.name .. Sender domain must exist).

Is there some configuration that I must do to sendmail to overcome this, =
or is there another console-based e-mail client that I can use for this =
purpose?

Regards,
Cameron
