Re: wrong From: and/or Return-Path:

["Russ Cook" <russcook@icon.net>]

I need help with smail.  I tried following the advice given below to
another
Debian user.  It got me close, but not quite there.
My ISP account is russcook@icon.net
My Debian account (home pc) is russ@p90.mydomain.
My full name is (Russell Cook).

Here is the result of my attempt to send mail from my home machine
to my office machine.
< test message follows>
To:               Russell D. Cook@ENG@WOSF
Cc:               
Bcc:              
From:             "russcook" <russ@icon.net>

This is a test message from russ@p90.mydomain after reconfiguring smail.




<End test message>

In the file /etc/smail/maps/from I put my Debian account names in the left
column,
and my Icon.net account name in the right hand column.  Did I do this
correctly,
or backwards?  For example,
/etc/smail/maps/from
russ	russcook@icon.net (Russell Cook)

If someone would like to see my config files, I'd be happy to post them. 
I'm not at my
home machine right now.
Is there a web site where I can read smail docs and FAQs? The documentation
on my
machine is in "info" format or some such, and I don't know how to format it
for reading.

Also, I use fetchmail and Pine to read my mail.  Fetchmail connects, and
retrieves my mail - 
I have verbose set, so I know it connects and transfers messages, and I
have the keep option
active.  However, no messages are saved on my machine. 
/var/spool/mail/russ is a zero length
file.  The mail does not seem to be in my home directory either.  Can
anyone suggest things
to check?

This is a long post.  I hope someone can help.

Thanks,
	Russ
