     In either case, did you put your domain/your ISP's domain on
the "hostnames" line in your /etc/smail/config line (if you run smail),
or have you done the equivalent for sendmail ("cw" file or something like
that?)?  And, if you do not own the domain, but your ISP does, are you
using a user account on your own machine by the same name (assume wolf)
as that on your ISP's mail server?
