Add in issues with RBLs and what not. I should also add that this is nowhere near a fix as many ISPs have started blocking SMTP access for their users to servers that they do not control, for this very same reason. So no, I don't think configuring an SMTP server with worth the time and effort for a few people that are unable to 'fake' the From: field in their clients. - Nigel > > Thomas > > [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EmailAliases > > > Am Freitag, den 03.10.2008, 21:30 +0200 schrieb Mike McGrath: > > On Fri, 3 Oct 2008, Thomas Spura wrote: > > > > > Hi. > > > > > > Sorry if this discussion has already been made... > > > > > > Why isn't it possible to configure an smtp-server to send > > > username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mails? > > > > > > Without it, I'm not able to properly use my fedora-mailadress - at least > > > at the moment. > > > > > > Or are there any workarounds for people without an own mail-server? > > > > > > > In your mail client you should be able to set a @fedoraproject.org > > address.
