sendmail config with several Kmail accounts
Hi! I have to send this email under MS Windows XP / MS Outlook XP as the sender ID under SuSE Linux 8.0 / Kmail / sendmail in my configuration is not correct. In Outlook I have several accounts defined all with their relevant reply-to address and sending using say laotoma@minangel.com appears sent from that address, and say frogmaster@lefrog.co.uk appears sent from frogmaster@lefrog.co.uk. Using sendmail, having defined several accounts in Kmail, which ever I use, looking at the maillog, emails seems to be sent from root@adsl147.noproblem.net (which is not accepted by this list, hence none of my email sent to this list under SuSE are acepted ... :-( So how can I 'trick' sendmail to 'follow' the email address of the selected account when sending an email? I'd love to be able to 'talk' to this list using SuSE, not Kro$oft!! TIA Lao Toma

If your using KMail then you really do not need something as heavy as Sendmail. KMail will send to your isp's relay server and you can configure KMail much in the same way you would Outbreak. You may even give Evolution a try. I have co-workers who are quite happy with it. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..

If you receive this, it proves you were right! Thank you! On Tuesday 03 September 2002 20:31, Ben Rosenberg wrote

No problem. :) Sendmail on a single user machine is more for things like system messages or in the case that your using something that doesn't do SMTP relaying itself..such as Mutt or Pine. I would say 9-10 GUI email clients like KMail, Mozilla or Evolution can use the ISP relay. Cheers! Glad it worked for you. * Lao Toma (laotoma@minangel.com) [020903 15:21]: ::If you receive this, it proves you were right! ::Thank you! :: ::On Tuesday 03 September 2002 20:31, Ben Rosenberg wrote :: ::> I would suggest using the same SMTP relay that you use with Outbreak.

You should not use sendmail and KMail at the same time, IMHO. They compete for the mail, and the result is not desirable sometimes. If you want to use KMail, stick to it and do not use Sendmail. -- MSc. Alberto García Fumero Centro de Información para la Educación Ministerio de Educación Usuario Linux No. 97 138 ¿Windows?
