This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01C11125.EBFCA5F0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 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?
