It is using smtp to the same server.

I think my ISP probably does not like the computer name I am using,
tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .
But I'm not sure how to change this within sendmail.
I suppose sendmail gets the name by running "hostname" of the equivalent.
I suspect my ISP wants me to use his name for me, gayleard@xxxxxxxxxx .
But it would cause confusion if I gave that name to all my laptops.

I guess there must be some way of specifying a host name
in sendmail.mc , but if there is I don't see it.
