I cannot subscribe directly as I have a static IP address from my ISP, but as a dial-up user running SuSE 5.1, I do not know how to stop my hostname from appending itself to the from addresss when sending mail, therefor whenever users reply, I don't get the mail ?
I have edited the /etc/rc.config and changed FROM_ADDRESS="alaska.net", which is my ISP's domain, but I still get pwilke.alaska.net as the sending domain ?
Perhaps your Ishmail is the source of all your trouble?!? Does it set the From-Address by its own? You may have a deeper look at its configuration or try to use Pine, where you can set your From-Header perfectly... :-) From your Header: [...] Subject: [S.u.S.E.
