Define root's email from address
I have some scripts which use the "mail" program to email a remote email address. The problem I am having is that the upstream mail server we send through isa bouncing these mails back as undeliverable as the senders address is not resolving. The error is similar to: <root@store.atlantic>... Domain of sender address root@store.atlantic does not exist (in reply to MAIL FROM command) How do I setup root's senders address to be something like root@myvalidinternetdomain.com ? I assume it is all down to /root/.mailrc, but I am struggling to find the appropriate syntax for doing this. Any ideas ? Richard

In the mail command you can add "-r root@myvalidinternetdomain.com" to the parameter list. In the mailrc it looks like you should be able to do set from root@myvalidinternetdomain.com to get the same effect

Or you could open YAST2 and go into the mail settings there and do it...

I forgot all about using Yast2 :) I did it the manual way as per Anders' suggesstion. For the achives tho, the correct syntax was : set from= root@myvalidinternetdomain.com <from=root@myvalidinternetdomain.com> (note the "=") Thanks for the help Richard

No prob. If you're using Mutt you can do it as well. I have a Muttrc file I've made from last October I'm using which means I can send email from wherever I want lol.
