I had been using Mail -s "msg-logs" bobgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx <

I am beginning to think that my ISP has done something to cause these
messages not to go through since it appeared to me that they were making
changes that created a lot of disruption in the mail server operation at
that time.
I have been trying to send other files such as:
Mail -s "msg-logs" bobgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx < /home/bobg/ootext/FAP.txt
with no success, nothing comes back? Normally these are filtered into a
Thunderbird directory "msg-logs" The filter set up looks ok. I haven't
changed anything there and if it didn't work I would hope the mail would
just show up in Inbox.
Is there a way I could see the outgoing message to be sure it is
actually being sent?
Can someone suggest a logical way to troubleshoot this problem? I've
been putting this problem off but it's an annoyance that needs fixing!
Have you looked in /var/log/maillog for an error message? It is
possible in the changes you mentioned, your ISP now requires
authentication before accepting mail. Another possibility is that
your ISP now requires that the there be a reverse DNS for the
hostname of the mail server that is sending it a message.

"reverse DNS?" Wireshark displayed a number of lines about DNS which I
did not understand. I hate to admit it but what's a reverse DNS? Guess
I need to look that up ...
