I am using 2.1.5-release, and I have configured ppp so that I can read the
news (gnus) using a nntp connection and normal network operations (telnet,
ftp, etc) do work. I have been assigned a static IP address by my ISP.
I start "sendmail -bd" from the etc/sysconfig file and then issue the command
"sendmail -q" after making the ppp connection and again after sending a
message. My machine (486dx2) does have the hostname set, but the name is not
registered with InterNIC.
My problem is mail (post, sendmail, whatever) does not work. I use emacs and
mh to handle mail. When I send a message, I get the following error
messages:
post: problem initializing servers [BHST] no servers available
send: message not delivered to anyone
I receive these same error messages regardless of whether I send to a
exterior address or another account on my machine (486dx2).
thanks for any hints or clues.
