I made the modifications suggested, but I still get the same error message. Note the following part: ... while talking to smtp.liu.se.: >>> DATA <<< 504 <ulf@obygden>: Sender address rejected: need fully- qualified address I'm guessing the problem is that "obygden" isn't a fully-qualified address, since it's only visible on the local network (that is, you can't do a DNS lookup on it from systems not connected to the network). What I don't know is how to find out what my fully-qualified address is, provided I have one (my understanding of DNS is still somewhat patchy). And, if I do know my fully-qualified hostname, how do I make sendmail use it instead of "obygden" when talking to the SMTP server? ----- Original Message ----- From: Oliver Fuchs <oliverfuchs@onlinehome.de> Date: Sunday, March 20, 2005 5:47 pm Subject: Re: Mutt & sendmail configuration problems > On Sun, 20 Mar 2005, Ulf Magnusson wrote: > > > I'm trying to set up sendmail to route outgoing mail to an > external SMTP server.
