This can be either your ISP if you're using a smarthost or the final destination (mail.uuu.vv), but that doesn't matter. There's a big difference between local mail (almost anything goes) and external mail. > Of course there isn't but how shall i "masquerade" (is it called so?) > like xxxx.yyy.zz?

You might want to get a static IP / DNS-name from your ISP or try using something like dhs.org. > Do I have to use m4 to regenerate a cf-file from the config.mc-file or > is there a nice and newbie-friendly-shortcut? Yes, that _could_ help (but not with xxxx.yyy.zz), but that _really_ would go too far for this list (as this is over the top for Newbies, I guess, but then again.. I'm also a newbie - with FreeBSD that is ;) Regards, Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
