The ISP has provided an SMTP server for me, but I use my own linux box as my SMTP server. I don't recall having this problem (at least not if this mail makes it to the list...)... I do have the same userid on my linux box as my ISP has given me for receiving mail, and I masquerade my machine (and envelope) as being my ISP's domain. So when I send mail as <userid>@<my machine>, sendmail masqs it to <userid>@<ISP's domain> to send it and my internal <userid> matches the mailbox that my ISP provided. Maybe that's why mine works? I might even have an effectively static IP address, being broadband, but my router doesn't allow anything but SSH through unless it is a response to something from here... -Michael -- A billion seconds ago Harry Truman was president.
