If so, most likely for the reason that I last mentioned. If it tries sending it out as root@localhost, or coming from any other non public domain name, many external SMTP servers will reject it as part of their anti-spamming handling. Mike would need to configure his SMTP server not to do that. Though, as he said, sending out a list of your problems to an outside server isn't the best of things to do. It would be better to keep that all in-house. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.
