if I use: "echo bye|mutt -s bye user@xxxxxx"
the message is send to local sendmail, then sendmail send it to mx
record dom.it, but dom.it refuse me for security and anti-spam reason.
I'm looking for a command which send my message direct to my provider,
like evolution or Thunderbird do.
You don't need to stop using sendmail for that, just configure it to do
what you want. Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc where it says:
dnl # Uncomment and edit the following line if your outgoing mail needs to
dnl # be sent out through an external mail server:
dnl #
dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.your.provider')dnl
This is the "correct" way to do it.
In a later email, Les, you recommend masquerading. This will probably
work for Dario, but it has the disadvantage that it only works if
there's a one-one mapping: if debian@here is the same as
debian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, my Internat Access Provider.
In my case that's not so, and if debian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx does exist, then
it's certainly not me.
