Hello Everyone,

        Still can't receive mail via Sendmail. Below are my parameter
based on other's and the SuSE 6.4 users manual.

In Yast I did this:

System administration -> Network configuration -> Configure sendmail ->

then picked 'Host with temporarily network connection (Modem or ISDN).'

Now, I did this:

System administration -> Change configuration file

Within 'Change configuration file' I have these Sendmail parameters set

SENDMAIL_ARGS = -bd -q -om
SENDMAIL_DIALUP = yes
SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE = no
SENDMAIL_GENERICS_DOMAIN = <blank>
SENDMAIL_LOCALHOST = localhost thewave1 
SENDMAIL_NOCANONIFY = no
SENDMAIL_NODNS = no
SENDMAIL_RELAY = <blank>
SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST = smtp:<My ISP's mail server> This is suggested in the
                         SuSE 6.4 users manual
SENDMAIL_TYPE = yes

What am I doing wrong here ?

Yast -> system administration -> Change configuration file

SENDMAIL_ARGS = -bd -q30m -om
SENDMAIL_DIALUP = yes
SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE = no
SENDMAIL_GENERICS_DOMAIN = 
SENDMAIL_LOCALHOST = localhost FQDN-of-your-computer
SENDMAIL_NOCANONIFY = no
SENDMAIL_NODNS = no
SENDMAIL_RELAY = 
SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST = 
SENDMAIL_TYPE = yes

and set FROM_HEADER = to whatever you want your email address to
show up as.  i.e. bigfoot.com ( I also put this in SENDMAIL_LOCALHOST )

This works for me without a hitch.
