Hey list,

I have two SUSE Linux 9.3 Professional machines here. I have log digest set up on both of them, and on the one I installed first, I have the logdigest app sending me logs and things each night, and it sends them to this email address.

I like sending them to another machine that way if someone broke in, I'd still have off site logs.

I just installed another fresh install and set up everything, but when log digest runs on this machine, I get undeliverable mail in the mail box, and it says it's because Comcast requires a valid sender domain or something like that in the RCPT.

Your sender address uses a domain name that is not resolvable outside your network. Use a sender address that is resolvable for the receiving mailserver and everything will work.

I don't understand why it works perfect on the first machien but not on this one. I'm fairly sure I configured them exactly the same, and the mail area, I set that up exact too.

Last night I spent quit some time in /etc looking for differences in the two configurations and brarely found anything.

Both machines send logs to the exact same email address, both machinesa re set up using YAST2 to configure mail, both are set up the same way there too, and both machines use Mutt for two accounts, and Kmail for another.

Any help is appreciated, and I'd REALLY like it if someone could tell me if they ahve comcast for an ISP and use this set up.

Comcast is my ISP, both machines are sending their logs to the same account, except for some reasno, one works, the other doesn't and I don't know why really.

Once again, it is the SENDER ADDRESS you are using that is the reject reason! If the comcast mailserver would accept your mail and later would find out that it can not deliver the mail, it could not send back the mail to the sender address. Mailserver admins passionately hate undeliverable mails that they are responsible for... (^-^) Sandy -- List replies only please! Please address PMs to: news-reply2 (@) japantest (.) homelinux (.) com
