problem sending mail...

[Jesse Evans <jpjevans@earthlink.net>]

Folks,

	Something chokes when I try to send mail, but only certain addresses.

	For example, I can send a message to myself via my ISP and it get's
retrieved just fine using fetchmail. Likewise, I can send mail to a web-based
addresse, i.e. netscape.net and it shows up there, so I know I'm able to get
out of my ISP's domain.

	However, other addresses get bounced back almost immediately with the
follow header:

mail failed, returning to sender
From: <MAILER-DAEMON@debian>

	(I've snipped out the address of the person I'm mailing to for the sake
of maintaining their privacy). My own machine is named 'debian' and I'm 'jesse'
on that machine. I connect to the Internet via Earthlink. I can mail this
message ok, so what's up?
