hi, I have that set but I am still getting errors. I think i have a domain setting wrong because I get a server comonname mismatch error when I use fetchmail. i am thinking that I have the same problem in sendmail. also how do I set the from field in mutt. Sorry for asking so many questions but now i have myself in a real pickel. i have a message in linux that need replied to and I can't because I can't send mail.
