hi. i am having difficulties getting my system to work correctly when sending mail. pine works fine, and other programs that send using their own mechanisms. however, using slrn, elm, etc when i send an email it bounces back with the following errors.... i tried editing the sendmail.cf file. all i got from fiddling with that was it ended up thinking i was my isp (labyrinth.net.au) so mail to that domain all came back to me. any help greatly appreciated!!
