You'll want to configure your sendmail so that the address it posts
*FROM* is recognised as valid to the outside world.  No well-set-up ISP
SMTP server is going to let you send an e-mail apparently coming from
root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, no matter what "TO" address you've used.

Do you know how to configure sendmail?  If so, that information should
get you started.  Or you can read about the masquerade options, to
figure it out.  Write back if you need to.

Test running FC6 & FC5, and still using FC4.
I delete all private mail, unseen.  I read from the list.
