Re: smail problems with smarthost

[lee.bradshaw@mindspring.com (Lee Bradshaw)]

Hi,

I found my problem after seeing a suggestion about a similar problem
on the list.  I needed to set the visible_name to mindspring.com for
mindspring to accept the mail.  This gives garbage headers, but the
mail goes through.  I am lee.bradshaw@mindspring.com; someone else
is bradshaw@mindspring.com.  The headers starting with "From " and
"Return-Path:" refer to another user.  Here is what the headers on my
mail through the smarthost look like:

>From bradshaw@mindspring.com Mon Feb 23 17:21:46 1998
Return-Path: <bradshaw@mindspring.com>
