If you have the same bad luck I have, there is one or more header in your email address that refers to suse.com and not you. I don't know how to find and fix it, and I can't post from Linux either. There's some kind of bug in the setup routine, I guess. At 05:42 PM 01/08/2001 -0800, you wrote:

Hi all,

I've got a problem sending mail to this list from Linux (Winblows works fine). The mail server at SuSE rejects my postings, and I was wondering how I might fix it.

The situation is this. I receive mail at dsoper@clipper.net. I have an OpenBSD firewall with a FQDN of emma.clipper.net. Everything inside the network is on 192.168.1.0 and is using DHCP. When I send mail from Linux, I get the following return message:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at lists.suse.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

I know I could receive mail at emma.clipper.net, but my DSL connection isn't really reliable enough. When I send mail to my work address, it is listed as being from dsoper@clipper.net. I've tried fiddling with .muttrc, the sendmail configuration, using emacs, Netscape, etc.

Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

Cheers, Dennis
