Hi, On my machine I have KMail setup and working fine via a proxy server for SMTP and POP3. My problem is, is that I have a number of perl scripts, that use 'Mail' to send emails. This works fine for local emails (me@myserver), but has problems with remote ones (me@yahoo.com) The initial error was 'unable to resolve DNS...', which is fine as I don't have a DNS server on the machine. I 'fixed' this by adding the domains of the email addresses I want to send (only 5-6) to my hosts file pointing to my proxy server. The problem I am stuck on is that my proxy server is rejecting the send attempts because the 'sender' is me@myserver rather than me@myISP.com. Does anyone know if you can pass an account name and password to 'Mail' as a commandline parameter, or think of another solution?
