Hi-

I have had to make some changes due to dns routing issues. Here is my situation. I have a custom domain name called basin.com which resides on a local ISP called znet. They also give me POP and smtp support by a reflected basin.com account which is an alias to their smtp and pop email handlers. My hostname here is mperry. This means that programs like slrn tack on the "mperry" to outgoing email and it appears thus From: mperry@mperry.basin.com. I would desire it to be for awhile mperry@basin.com. I have this figured out with mutt and knews with no problem. I had to recompile knews and tell it what to use. I would like to bend slrn to my desire though :) and drop the hostname in outgoing emails. I hope this is not a sendmail.cf issue. I dont like reading stuff that looks like mathmatical expressions.

Can anyone help?

Michael, I use Ishmail, a $ GUI mail client, and one that works well. In /etc/rc.config edit the field FQHOSTNAME= to say FQHOSTNAME="basin.com" and that should help. -Regards Dee W.D.McKinney (Dee) -=- deem@wdm.com No claim to fame, just saved by Grace. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
