goofy email fixed
A few messages back, I posted questions about changing my hostname and
some emails not going through. I figured out how to fix this problem,
perhaps this post will help someone else with a similar problem.
During the Debian 2.0 installation, I was asked for a hostname -- I
entered "sewage" for my hostname, and did no further net setup because
I use PPP to connect to the internet (and this is what the
installation recommends, if you know what I'm talking about).
Apparently, the Debian setup took this value ("sewage"), and added
that to my /etc/smail/config file, giving the lines:
visible_name=sewage
hostnames=sewage
I simply changed these lines to the following:
visible_name=localhost
hostnames=localhost:sewage
Hopefully this hack will keep things rolling. <shrug>
