Re: Setting up mail.
Hi Alan,
I may have the answer. I have my "visible name " set to that of my ISP
which is cleo.murdoch.edu.au. This means that all replies get sent to the
right place. It took me a while to get the right combination in the
config and I made a note of how I did it for future reference.
elm $> cat /etc/smail/notes
smail configured thus:
yes, an internet site
no smarthost
then /etc/smail/config edited to remove cleo from 'hostnames='
Short, simple and effective.
Lindsay
